Whimsical Garden :: Austin Birthday Cakes

This two-tiered birthday cake was sort of an experiment in designing a cake without really having a plan. The client said they liked pastel colors and butterflies.

You would think that it is probably not too hard, but the challenge is creating something that doesn't always look exactly the same. The best I could come up with was polka dots...Not really straying from the norm there! Haha!

Looking back at this cake I see many flaws and other areas I should have done differently. Overall the theme still comes across nicely..so I was satisfied but not 100% pleased with the final product. It was not necessarily my favorite cake, but it is still cute. If I had to make it again I would definitely make several improvements on it.

This cake was a french vanilla cake with a strawberry preserve filling; one of my most popular flavor combinations.
