Una Torta Per Una Amica Speciale... A Cake For A Special Friend...
We celebrated Tami's Birthday, and I was in charge of the cake. The party was a Beach Theme . For the decoration on the cake, I made Gelatin Bubbles , which is a decorating technique that I had never used before. I also made Gum Paste Seashells, White Chocolate "Coral" and sprinkled on a little Sanding Sugar and Gold Glitter for "Sand". It was fun to make, and I really love how it turned out. The cake itself was a White Cake with a layer of Almond Paste and Apricot Jam thinned with a bit of White Rum, topped with Cream Cheese Frosting. Pretty delicious !
Who wouldn't put you in charge of the cake! ;)

Mary,
ReplyDeleteI really wished you were around to make Nel's wedding cake last year. You are so talented, and this beach theme is delightful. Jess would love this cake, and I am going to send her over to check it out, as she LOVES the beach. The gelatin bubbles is a clever idea. The sea shells and the sprinkles - it is all so wonderful.
A special cake for a special friend.
Love,
