Together on Planet Mom Cake








My final MOPS cake for the year. This is not a giveaway but for everyone to enjoy. I was hoping for an entire globe but had trouble so we get half of it. It's supposed to be somewhat similar to next year's theme for MOPS. The bottom tier is a dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and the top tier is a vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling. The frosting is a fluffy buttercream and a marshmallow fondant for the accents.

Two Cakes in One Day


Both these cakes were for the same day. I stayed up till 5:30 a.m. working on these cakes, but I think they look more polished as I had no distractions from my children. I look at these and think, did I really make those?
