Name The New Recipe!

Thought I'd start off with a picture of my first homemade confetti cupcakes! Confetti cake was always my favorite growing up.


But my highlight for the weekend was this three-tier flower cake! My table was covered in leaves and flowers all week.

Learned one sad lesson. See these bags full of two days' work of gumpaste flowers and leaves? Turns out that even after they've dried, putting them in ziplocs make them soften and mush together! Ach! Fortunately I found out with enough time to save most of them.

Put some gumpaste violets on some flower wire to have a 3-d effect.

With this cake, I tried using cardboard and dowel rods to help support all the layers. I loved the result! Never going back :) The bottom layers is almond and the upper layers are chocolate.

When it came time to attach the decorations, I wasn't sure what to use. I assumed corn syrup would work, the adhesive I use for fondant on fondant, but it didn't work for the gumpaste! Fortunately, Google is much smarter than I am, and I found out that mixing Meringue Powder and water works!

Two hours later...

I had a blast making this cake for my good friend Holly.

With some leftover cake and fondant, Marmie made her first fondant cake! So cute!

Today I tried a new recipe! Chocolate, toffee, and coffee are involved. So what should I name them? Mocha Toffee or Coffee Toffee? (Say Coffee Toffee ten times fast. Hehe!)

Mocha Toffee or Coffee Toffee? You decide! Leave me a comment below!
