50th Birthday Cake!

This past weekend my mom and I made a cake for her best friend's 50th birthday. We have been getting some practice making cakes which I like! We are really learning a lot about baking, filling, stacking, and decorating cakes.

The birthday girl, Mary Jo, wanted a cake to feed 40 people. So we made it a two-tier cake, a 6-inch tier on top of a 9-inch tier. She also wanted each tier to have a layer of chocolate and a layer of vanilla.

We filled the top tier with chocolate cream cheese frosting just like this cake.

And we filled the bottom tier with buttercream and strawberries. The buttercream recipe is the same as the one we used on this cake.

We covered the cake in buttercream and added fresh flower details.

Everyone loved the cake and thought it was delicious!

We also brought some petite sweets with us because we know everyone loves them!

Wedding Cake!

My mom and I got our first order for a wedding cake at Les Petites Sweets! The request is for a rustic wedding cake that the bride will provide flowers for. We have the cake next to a wine bottle for scale.

We made this cake as a practice run because we don't have much experience making cakes. It's good to know that we can make simple and uncomplicated cakes if that is what a customer is looking for. The cake we made is an 8 inch round on top of a 9 inch round. We would like it to look more balanced so when we do the final wedding cake we are going to do a 6 inch round on top of a 9 inch round.

Our first step was, of course, to make the cake batter! We used our super moist secret recipe!

We made a white cake filled with chocolate cream cheese frosting and coated in a luscious vanilla buttercream.

I found the chocolate cream cheese buttercream recipe on the blog "Cupcake Project". It was sooo good and everyone who tried it loved it. You can find the recipe here.

I found the vanilla buttercream buttercream recipe on the blog "i heart eating". It was so smooth and light. It didn't taste heavily of butter or sugar like the typical buttercream. You can find the recipe here.

We are excited to provide a cake and petite sweets for this upcoming wedding!
