| So we swapped some ideas. She liked the vintage romantic and soft pastel colors. So we found pictures like this one for inspiration. |
 |
| She knew she did NOT want any fondant so we focused on buttercream textures. I watched some you tube video tutorials to learn some techniques. I posted the videos on pinterest! http://pinterest.com/cczielinski/baking/ |
 |
| I sketched a few pictures and we decided on an ivory/off-white and pastel pink color palette. |
 |
| I found the perfect brooch!! Actually I found two, but this one was perfect! Since it was a piece of jewelry I wrapped the pieces that would be inserted in the cake with Glad cling wrap. |
 |
| These were the three tests I did to make my white buttercream vintage white! Bottom one was an ivory paste, middle was brown extract, and the top was the almond extract non-clear that worked like a charm! |
 |
| Just a quick close up of the cake without the ribbon and brooch. |
 |
| The fabulous brooch! |
Definitely one of my favorite cakes! I had so much fun learning how to do the different techniques and am excited about doing more with textured buttercream!!!
