Shower Flower Cakes



One of my best friend's sister is getting married this June.  She asked if I could create a couple cakes for the bridal shower she was throwing.  Per request, one was chocolate and one vanilla.  The cake design was inspired by the invitation.  All decorations were created by me- flowers were hand-crafted out of fondant.


Stacking the cake...
Vanilla cake with strawberry preserves and strawberry mousse.





Swirlies to compliment the invitation and shower decor.


Devil's Food cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry preserve filling

Looks like Mint Chip!  Idea for next cake?  Maybe so...


CHOCOLATE GANCHE
- 8 oz. semi-sweet or milk chocolate
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Over a double boiler, melt chopped chocolate.  Heat cream in a saucepan and gradually whisk into melted chocolate.  Refrigerate until slightly firm.
