Relief Society Birthday Cake

Olympic Medallion F.R.O.G. Cake

This cake is about as busy as it’s title!!  It was for the Young Women of my church—and it’s just what was ordered!  The theme for the year is the Olympics.  The term F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Rely On God, and the golden medallion is what each of the girls is working for.  Mix them all together, and this is what came out.  The Olympics are represented first with the 5 cakes, making up the Olympic Rings.  Then with the torch, the medallion and the garlands around each cake.  The Frogs are all suckers that each young woman could take and the Young Women’s program was represented in the colors and the “Olympic events” on each cake.

It was a fun cake to make—very colorful, bright and BUSY!!

Tasting Cakes

Have you ever done a cake tasting with us?  Well—you are missing out!  There is a tasting fee of $35.00, but what’s nice is that same $35.00 is used as your deposit….and that very same $35.00 comes off of the final price of your cake.  So, if you have a tasting and end up ordering your cake through Piping Dreams Cakery….your tasting is free!

Usually with tastings, you will just see slices of cake to try, but the bride for this cake was set on the idea of a Buttercream only cake and I was dead set on changing that!  Really, it would have been fine if she’d stayed with Buttercream—but there is an additional charge for a buttercream only cake due to the time it takes to ice each cake tier perfectly smooth.  So my plan was to make two cakes—buttercream on one and fondant with the edible sparkle dust on the other.  The same roses decorated the top–but I wanted her to LOVE the sparkle—and she did!   She actually ordered a beautiful wedding cake…in fondant!
