#282_Mom-Daughter Birthday Cake

"Two for One Cake"
A dear friend, Nieves and her daughter were
celebrating their birthdays on the same day,
so I made this cake for both of them with "fence" as a partition.


On this side of the fence is for 3-year old Eya

On the other side of the fence is her mom's cake.

The cupcakes are Chocolate Banana Cake,
(extra from making the cakes)
frosted with Buttercream Frosting

The flowers I used on the cake are the sugar flowers
which I learned to make from Youtube.
(see previous post)
The cake is a 10-inch 2 layer Banana Chocolate Cake,
frosted with Cream Cheese Frosting,
while the picket fence is made of melting chocolates,
melted then cut out.

My friends, Stella and Yaye posed with the cake at the birthday party.

#281_Sugar Flowers for Decorating Cakes

I took the Basic Wilton Cake Decorating Course (course 1)
but that was it...."basic decorating", but an essential course.
This rosettes design will be on Course 2 which I will have yet to take.

Two weeks ago I wanted to make these flowers to decorate
2 birthday cakes that I was making
for friends who were celebrating birthdays,
so I watched this step-by-step flower making video on
YouTube where I learned to make them.
It takes some practice and a lot of patience,
but it was a lot of fun making them.

To those who are interested in making this sugar flower design,
let me share the link with you:
