Ladybug Cake

Here are some pictures of the cakes we've done this far in hopes of making you impressed with our work enough to keep coming back and placing orders!

Please pardon our lack of a fancy (or clean) background for all of our pictures, we've learned the hard way and will be paying attention for the next ones!

This ladybug cake taught us some valuable lessons! It was our first cake that required a fondant figure. Also we learned of the difficulty involved in getting white fondant to the darker and more vibrant colors we needed. We were unable to get the black black-enough. Our first batch of red became sticky and tasted terrible because of too much tint. We also learned that if the tiers are too close in size originally they are likely to lose size differences as we frost!

We frosted this cake with buttercream instead of using fondant and used Tiffany's air-brusher for the first time to get the bottom tier red. It was exhausting but came out pretty darn cute!
