Royal Blue and Silver Wedding

 I'll let the pictures do most of the describing, but this is a buttercream -frosted cake with modeling chocolate roses (painted and glitter dusted), piped scroll-work, and royal blue and silver ribbon wrapped around the bases.
I also couldn't resist adding some pictures of the adorable cake topper :), and the beautiful table decorations. I was so thrilled when I was told what the colors would be- royal blue and silver is one of my favorite color schemes for a wedding! :) Maybe someday I'll have a wedding with that theme...though I'll most likely have someone else do the cake...;)

Ford Lover's Groom Cake

First of all, this is not the only cake I've done since Curious George...I'm afraid I've been a little remiss in my posting of late. :/ I do apologize!

However, here is my latest- a groom's cake for the Ford man. :) I did a combination of my painting-on-modeling-chocolate thing :), and cookie crumb gravel, and LOTS of chocolate frosting...;)

Okay- above is the almost finished cake - before I added the "Built Ford Tough" sign...:)
Here is an interesting (or odd) bit of trivia about me: I can look at this cake, especially the picture, and know what was going on in the house around me while I did that particular part of the painting. For example, I had National Treasure II on, to have something to listen to, and I could tell you what part of the movie I was hearing when I painted what part of the picture...:)

 

And here we have it - the finished product!

I loved the idea of "Built Ford Tough" for two reasons: first, because every Ford man loves that phrase, :), and second, because it spoke of the couple's relationship - built Ford tough. :)

And I know Ford men because I live in a house full - my Dad and my brothers are all Ford lovers. :)

Now, I wish you could've seen the inside of this cake...moist dark chocolate cake stuffed in between with rich, luscious chocolate ganache, and loaded with chocolate buttercream...it smelled aMAZing, and was any chocolate lover's dream as well. :D
