Bow Tie Cake
I do not really know how you call this kind of bow... a ribbon? ...or a bowtie? Whatever it is, I just love this style of bow. I was asked to create any design for this cake - the only request is to keep it mint green. The first thing that came to my mind was a bow! I have done a lot of those present bows, so I want this to be different and feminine abeit the green color. Alas the bowtie. This bowties had to be done a week early to dry and keep its shape. Then again while making them you'll haveto consider the shape and size of your cake as you do not want the bows to be too big OR too small for your cake. You want to make sure it fits that space you are planning to place them in. Tricky huh? BTW, the picture doesn't really do it any justice. In real color, this was a pretty, pretty mint green tiered cake...ah well, I was still pleased how it turned out. I would always remember this cake.

Bowling Pin Cookies
This was the cookie that came with the Bowling Cake I have done in the past. I will post the cake in later discussions. This cookie is a bit bigger that my usual cookie. If I remember it correctly, it is about 4" long. So if you are craving for butter cookies...you know what you need to get!
Oh you know what I thought, these would look great with a personalized message...or just have you name on it...COOL!!!

More Polka Dots
Did I not say that Polka Dots are REALLY very popular? These styles looked so simple but it has it's own ELEGANCE. The tiered look made it different than the usual sheet cakes we commonly see. The bows were made of gumpaste and colored to match the dots, except for the white bow that matches the white dominant color on the tiered cake. I probably have done more of this style than what I have posted here but I am pressed for time to put all of them together. This is just an idea how the bows and different dainty colors can give life to a simple, tiered cake. Sometimes, I go for simplicity...
This was a baby shower cake...it looked just like my previous cake polka dot photo BUT this one has all the handmolded fondant baby thingies on the bottom tier.
How about a little variation? Square-shaped bottom tier with stripes! Believe me or not this square cake yields more servings than a round cake of the same size.
I love this one!!! Aqua Blue, Brown and Peach! Square Tier with Polka dots all over.
