Today I had the honor of making my very first wedding cake for my beautiful cousin’s wedding. Vanilla bean cake & filling with a white chocolate ganache coating then covered in fondant.

Plus chocolate & vanilla cupcakes topped with a selection of Oreo, white chocolate or strawberry buttercream & choc/vanilla cake pops dipped in white chocolate.

She found the wedding cake design on Pinterest and I hope did it justice.

Also, I had the opportunity the work with @wonderlustatlanta event planning and she did an incredible job with organizing the wedding. Everything from flower design, reception layout, ceremony flow. I truly appreciate her patience with me as a nervous wedding cake newbie. She provided the flowers for the cake, the risers, etc. I HIGHLY recommend her services if you are planning an event and you want it to be amazing.

I did it! I finally got some time to make and decorate a cake that has been on my To-Do list for the longest time. With two little ones running my schedule full-time, my creative baking has been few and far between. So this past week I blocked out bits of time to finally get it done.

Inspired by these super cute leggings on Etsy, I decided to make a cake based on the design. I baked a Chocolate Butter cake and filled/crumb coated it with Nutella Buttercream. I then covered it in Dark Chocolate ganache and decorated it with modeling chocolate using the techniques I learned in the Craftsy Clean & Simple Cake Design class taught by Jessica Harris of Jessicakes.

I am absolutely over the moon happy with how well the cake turned out! The seams still need a little work but this cake has me grinning from ear to ear. 🙂
