Cake with Natalie the Gorgeous


My friend Natalie is a professional wedding cake "performer" I thoroughly enjoyed watching her work her magic on this beautiful cake. The week started off with me telling her how beautiful her cakes were on her blog Chandelier Cakes but some of her pictures are blurry and need to be more colorful. In my lack of tact I was able to convince her to let me come over to watch her and take pictures. I had a blast! A lot of work goes into wedding cakes so I really think they are worth the price!


 
I ate some of (well a lot of ) the trimmings! By the end I didn't want anything to do with cake.
It was lemon poppy seed and chocolate, I was really digging in on the lemon. :) 


  
She smooths butter cream frosting on the top with water so that it will hold the fondant nice and flat! 
  
Next comes the fondant, coloring was a dark purple


  

 
  
Time to wrap the cakes! 


  
  
  
For the big one, I thought it looked like those portable black holes from "Who's Framing Roger Rabbit" 


Her sweet husband Kyle lends a hand


  
  
Polishes with water


  
Adding some ribbon


  
Decor


  
  
Finished!!! 


Playing with a sheet. It was the only color we had! 

I think Natalie is a sexy housewife. 
Go Natalie! 
I want to be like you someday.
