Cake Friday: Pretty Purple Communion Cake

During the end of April and beginning of May we do hundreds of First Holy Communion Cakes. A common color scheme is pale pink and white for girls and light blue and white for boys. I chose this cake to feature today because it is a little different in color scheme as lavender was its main color. Take a look at how this beautiful cake came to be...

Small white flowers are cut out to put on a cross.

With a touch of water dragees are added
to the center of the flower.

Lavender fondant is created by adding
 a touch of purple to white fondant. 

The bottom tier is covered and smoothed out.

Using a stencil, a quilted pattern is applied.

Next, the top tier is covered in white fondant.

Using a rubber mold, borders are created.

Using a touch of water, the borders are applied.

Left over flowers from the cross are placed on the
bottom tier for a special touch.

Next, a ribbon is placed in
the center of the top tier.

A bow is created with help
of paper towels for support.

Bow legs are added to the ribbon.

The cross is added to the
 top of the cake as a topper.

Two discs are cut for a personal message.

The message is hand painted
with liquid food coloring
