Pink Diamond Sweet 16 Cake

The cake seen around the world!  That's what I was calling this one when I was doing it.  It has over 500 individual diamonds and pearls on it.  When a light hit it, this cake shone like crazy.

The designs were made with stencils, which I then covered with diamonds and pearls.  It took hours and hours and hours, but it was so worth it in the end.  The sides were then given a 'cushion' look, without the actually cushion effect, by putting diamonds where the 'cushion' would have been.  Confusing... I know!  

The fondant on the cake goes from darker to lighter pink.  It gave it a cool look to the eye.  The cake was then topped with a bow that matched the darkest pink to tie it all together.

So, what do we think?!  Let me know in the comments below!

Zebra and Hot Pink Cake

This cake was made for a first birthday.  It's made with a white fondant base, which was then decorated with black zebra strips.  The balls and bow are made with hot pink.  The '1' is completely edible, made of gumpaste then covered in edible silver glitter.

Although this is a simple cake, it turned out to be one of my favorites.  Something about zebra print always catches my eye!
