How did I spend this weekend? Making a wedding cake. One of my friends was getting married, and had planned on not doing a cake, but our other friends recruited me to make one. I decided to be a little ambitious (maybe too much so) and try out a few new things. The cake itself is a rosewater chocolate cake (made with spelt flour and hemp milk as my friend also has soy and wheat issues) with rosewater “butter cream.” I made my own vegan fondant to cover the cake and used some vegan white chocolate chips to create the roses and leaves. They are brushed with some culinary pearl dust (which does not contain pearls) to give them shimmer.
Over all I was pleased with how it turned out. I still have some testing and revising to do on the fondant recipe. I’ll probably post some recipes and tutorials eventually, but I want to get a few things ironed out. You can click the photos below to view the full images.
You are my hero. *drops jaw*
What a work of art! It is BEAUTIFUL! And I bet it tastes as good as it looks. You’re one clever lady.
I am of course totally presuming you are a lady…please forgive me if that’s not the case.
ha. looks like someone didn’t read the site’s “about” page.
