Buttercream rosette cakes are just as beautiful as they are versatile.  I’ve made them for birthdays, baby showers, gender reveals, smash cakes, holidays, engagements, and more.  This texture of buttercream looks great on it’s own, or perfected with an edible image banner or a cute cake topper.  The rosettes can be in a solid color, multi-colored, or ombre.  I use the Wilton tip 1M, and sometimes include some smaller star tips.  Here’s a gallery of rosette cakes I’ve made, as well as a quick tutorial video.

Pokemon Cakes

I’ve finally took some time off to catch up on my blog posts, and I first wanted to give this two-tier Pokemon cake a proper blog post because it has been super-popular on Pinterest thus far!  I made this cake in May of 2016 for Evie’s 10th Birthday party.  This is very similar to a cake design that my client sent me a photo of, however, I’d like to think that I make improvements & changes where I can, or where the client tells me.  Personally, I prefer that cakes are always personalized with the celebrant’s name and age, which I added to the Pokeball portion of this cake.  The bottom tier was an 8″ chocolate and vanilla marble cake with Oreo buttercream filling.  The top tier was a 6″ rainbow swirl cake with a strawberry vanilla cream filling.  I also made some matching mini cupcakes with custom edible wafer paper images.

I also made another Pokemon cake in October 2016.  This was about a 9″ half sphere covered in fondant.  It also came with two dozen regular size Pikachu & Pokeball custom edible image cupcakes.  Happy 7th Birthday Avery!

Here’s a look at the “It’s a Small World” Cake I made in October 2016. It’s a two-tier fondant covered cake with a 360-degree design around the bottom tier made of a bunch of fondant cutouts in the style of the “It’s a Small World” castle at Disneyland.  I thought this was such a lovely, unique theme!  Just think about the awesome backdrop & fun props you can use to decorate!  The bottom tier was an 8″ hazelnut cake with Nutella buttercream.  The top tier was a 6″ ube purple yam cake with ube buttercream. Client review: “Thank you so much Joy! The cake was such a hit andeveryone loved it ? It definitely completed mia’s birthday theme!” – Ria I’m a San Diego based cake artist with a licensed home baking business.
