Estate…. Summertime…

Summertime decor… a few little homemade candles… leftover wax, and seashells…

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 !
