Cakes, cakes, and cakes

Last spring when I got engaged, I thought it would be really fun to make my own wedding cake. All summer, it seemed like a good idea, and I was even excited. However, now that my wedding is less than a month away all I am is nervous. So Ben David, Pigeon, and I have been making countless practice cakes, coming up with different designs, etc. My first design turned out to be a flop. It resembled a teenager's 13th birthday cake. So I tried a few more and ended up deciding on doing just several small ones with different colors and white piping to tie them all together.

As you can tell, the filling looks delicious. There was a yellow tier on top of the coconut, but it just looks really ridiculous. 

For my next trial, i frosted a cake in stiff yellow buttercream and let it set. Then I used a slanted brush and several colors of buttercream and painted flowers onto it. I loved the way it looks, and I may do one cake like this. 

this blue one is what most of the cakes will end up resembling. I may make some cute, handmade toppers for them. 

On another note, I've been busy working away at the bakery lately. Here are some photos of things i"m whipping up right now: 

Fresh Apple-cranberry walnut scones

Gluten free brownies

My brownies turned out great; they're very soft and moist, but not grainy like alot of gluten free products. The brownies are cut in half and people are paying $2 for them!!! I also made a few cupcakes here and there for people asking for them.
