Purple, Pink & Green Slice of Cake
This cake was a surprise for the girlfriend of one of my closest friends. I love this cake design. It’s so fun and comes together really easy. It has become my go to cake design when I need a cake to serve 25ppl or less. The flavor was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and milk chocolate ganache.
Im really happy with the color scheme (which was taken from ribbon I had on hand), the green just seems to pop against the purple.

Circus Themed Cakes
I needed to give this 2nd cake some individuality and it was a bit smaller (100 servings) I changed the tier shapes, added orange into the color scheme and used a different technique on the name to give it some individuality.
Overall I'm happy with how both cakes came out but I really think I like the 2nd one better. I think has to do with the technique used on the name – it just pops more. Just goes to show how simple adjustments can a difference.

Sneak Peek: Teal and Purple Sweet 16
Here is a sneak peak of a Sweet 16 cake that I am working on.
I love animal prints and to pair it with a teal/purple/black color scheme is really takes it to another level (i love cakes with black in the color scheme).
The invite is super chic and made designing the cake really fun! I submitted four options and this is one they chose - I'm also adding a few elements which are not shown in the sketch.
