Bridal Shower

For this shower I took a different approach than the traditional round/square cakes. I decided to do a wedding dress cake with a barbie insert. This cake was 3 tiers, mixture of yellow and chocolate cake. I had a lot of fun with this cake and also learned a new technique of making fondant drapes/swags. The secret weapon is a simple drinking straw. For such a simple technique it sure adds a lot to the cake. I also used some sanding sugar to sparkle up the dress a little! This cake was well received by all the guests and the bride/groom to be! Congrats Melanie & Jimmy!
