Firefly Cake Design

Between weddings, I really love making birthday cakes. Especially when they’re for amazing friends and their kids! And even more especially when they can be an excuse to learn a new skill, in this case making wafer paper watercolor butterflies!

No wedding too small for a tiered cake!
And what better way to celebrate a day after Thanksgiving wedding than with a cake adorned with flowers in reds, oranges, and yellows and climbing vines!

Happy Anniversary to these two lovebirds!

This cake was so fun from start to start to finish. But then again, how could it not be when the inspiration was how much they loved sprinkles?!

Always fun getting repeat birthday customers!
Hope I get to find out what Emily will want when she turns 9…
