Christening bling cake

Wow, it's been awhile and I'm really starting to miss making cakes. I've been blessed with a full time job (not doing cakes) that takes up 8 hours of my day and haven't come around to even starting my dummy cakes and portfolio. Anyhow, I did get a call from a client of mine who really wanted something simple. She found this picture on Cake Central and I tried to make it just alike with a few different things. The bling around the cross is not edible it's actually little crystals...yeah I know scary couldn't imagine anyone eating it. Other wise chocolate cake with vanilla custard covered in fondant. Cross is also fondant. She had to send me this picture via email.....dingy me forgot to take one. I completely forgot to use my new camera. Well things like that happen when your in a rush. Hope you like it thanks to cake central member (berni2611) for her beautiful cake.

Christening dress cake

Here it is, the christening cake. I know it's not your typical white dress. The day before it was due I get a call from the baby's father who goes on to tell me that he wants the cake to be lavender. Well everything was all white, so I had to go back and color the little bows and make the cake itself the same color. Not your typical christening cake, but it's still cute. I really liked the turnout and so did the parents and guests at the party. I finally got my Fondx in and got to try it for the first time. I loved the flavor and it's so easy to work with. I was rolling it thin for the dress so it would tear here and there, but I got used to the texture and was able to do it right. The shoes, hat and rosary I made out of gum paste a few days ahead. It all turned out pretty smooth this time around, usually I have some trouble here and there. Can't complain! Thanks for keeping posted.
