What Kind of Cake Would You Like?

One of the most important questions I will ask when doing your cake consultation!  Your cake flavor and filling options are nearly endless, but here are some popular combinations to consider:

Vanilla Butter cake with raspberry filling
Devil's Food Chocolate cake with coffee filling
Summer Lemon cake with blueberry filling (seasonal)
Classic Carrot cake (with pineapple and coconut, of course!) with Cream Cheese filling
Red Velvet cake with vanilla buttercream
Maple Spice cake with apple filling

Cakes are finished with either homemade buttercream icing or covered in rolled fondant.  For those unfamiliar with fondant, it is a sweet, marshmallow-based dough (also homemade) that when draped over a cake, creates a beautiful, perfectly smooth surface for decorating (the cake in the picture above is covered in white fondant).  It can be tinted any color, and also stands up well to summer heat (buttercream runs the risk of melting), making it perfect for your warm-weather event! 

Can you tell I love working with fondant? :)
