Red Velvet with Almond Buttercream, her favorite.
A little help from Google Maps.
And why yes, that is a red fondant Gate Bridge. 🙂
Casablanca Prom Cake
May 2010
Of course I was involved in planning the prom at the high school where I taught in Florida! Instead of opting for catered dessert at the venue, the kids all wanted one of my cakes. For this one, the dance’s theme was Casablanca – 1940s Hollywood glamour meets Morrocco. Fondant paisleys and tassels, Moroccan and Arabic-inspired forms, and bright colors that matched the theme decor.

Masquerade Prom Cake
May 2011
Of course I was involved in planning the prom at the high school where I taught in Florida! Instead of opting for catered dessert at the venue, the kids all wanted one of my cakes. For this one, for a Venetian-masquerade-ball-themed dance, I went completely over-the-top. Topsy-turvy layers, black-and-white fondant, wired decor, lustre-dusted gumpaste masks, tulle, and loads of feathers. If some is good, more is better.
