Happy Friday! 🎂
I forgot how much I love a little border around the edge of the cake!
I made all of the emojis out of fondant from .ice and then I used my edible markers from to finish off some smaller details. The Sprinkles
(As always) are from in Heart Emoji

If I've taken anything away from my fellow instagram bakers, it's that collabs are the perfect time to try something new! This was the first time I had ever painted on a cake and I am absolutely in love with the result!
As I was painting on the trees with the palette knives, I decided it needed something else and my boyfriend came up with the idea of the waterfall, which I think took this cake from good to great!This cake was made as part of the hosted by & . Thanks for hosting guys!

Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm showcasing a custom cake I made a few weeks ago. This birthday cake was for someone who liked Kendrick Lamar and basketball so I designed the cake to look like Lamar's album 'Damn'
To get the brick wall like effect, I made indentations in my buttercream with the handle of a paintbrush, and then I dusted black cocoa powder in all of the creases to make the bricks pop! What do you think? Brick wall vibes or no?
