I've been developing some new flavors in both Gluten Free and Non-Gluten Free flavors........Peach Mojito, features Rum infused Vanilla Bean Cake with fresh peaches, Peach emulsion and mint Butter Cream topped with a sprig of fresh mint.
Bourbon infused Vanilla Bean Cake with Blackberry Butter cream , Blackberry Syrup Reduction and Fresh Lime Curd (my favorite)
Double Chocolate Toffee Crunch with Dark Chocolate Ganache FillingThe cake....is one of my favorites, simple, sophisticated and wrapped in plant-dyed silk ribbon. The pale blue color of the sugar flowers took me HOURS to get just the right shade of blue. Not too pink, not too grey, to compliment the beautiful, natural color of the blueberries, and the ribbon. In the end, I loved it, even though the color blue has never been one of my favorites, this one is really growing on me.
The antique gold finished tier was brushed with several different luster finishes to achieve just the right tone, trying to match the finish on the various mirrors and sconces.
The blackberries featured on the cake are sugar, and one of my favorite little touches, dark grey sugar pearls! The ribbon is a new find from Silk and Willow, plant dyed silk ribbon, vintage-look, and such a find, they are my new obsession.
