Let the Cake Making Begin

My friend Eboni got married in the Bahamas a few weeks ago, and is having a reception here in DC next weekend. So it's time to get this cake started. Originally, I planned to work from her bouquet.
It would be my first attempt at lilies, and I'm pretty sure I can pull it off. So all along I've been telling her that her cake will follow in my tradition of three-tiered round wedding cakes with some type of yellow flower smattered about the layers. But all of the sudden, today I decided I wanted to do something a little more funky. Eboni is pretty funky herself, and she has agreed to be my creative guinea pig. I have no idea what I'll come up with but right now I'm leaning toward something with stripes or polka dots. If you're thinking "hideous!" don't bother to tell me. I'll have some pictures posted by July 1 of whatever I come up with.

The Frog Cake

The Frog Cake

My sister loves frogs. For her shower cake, I made a cake with lilypads and two little frogs on top (Sarah and Scott).

The picture doesn't do it justice. This cake is beautiful! It is a pain to make all the curls, but the final result is amazing. And it tastes great!
