Mortadella anyone?

This cake was so much fun to make...who was it for? You guessed it! A 65 year old Italian dad.  Who else would ask for a piece of mortadella?

Hand Painted Cake

I was lucky enough again to have that dream client who says--do what you want!  I was so inspired.  Following the upcoming 2012 wedding cake trends, I decided to hand paint the cake with gorgeous leaves and flowers.  As a bonus, I added butterflies and colorful and whimsical gumpaste flowers to make the design POP!
