Coat & Tie Required............

My younger son just completed his 3rd year in pharmacy school. Parents were invited to a ceremony at which the students received their white pharmacy jackets and took a pledge of professionalism.

To surprise him, I made this "white coat" cake. The cake is lemon with vanilla buttercream icing. The shirt and tie were made of fondant in the school colors. The white coat is vanilla fondant.

Reports from the dorm were that the cake was a hit and that even the girls who "don't eat cake" really enjoyed it.

A Lavender First Communion

This cake was for Allison's First Communion held at the Manakiki Golf Course in Willoughby Hills, OH. Her mom and dad found a picture of cake that they liked and asked me to replicate it.

The 3 tier square cake, to serve 80 guests, is covered in vanilla fondant with vanilla buttercream icing. The lavender draping is also fondant. The top and bottom tiers are lemon cake with raspberry mousse filling. The middle cake is pink velvet with vanilla buttercream filling.

The roses are modeling chocolate and the cross is molded white chocolate. The plaque is gum paste printed with edible marker. The rosary is also gum paste. Everything on this cake could be eaten!
