Our nephew’s birthday was this weekend & I was kind of beating my head against the wall to think of a theme to use for his cake. Then he saw my silver & gold cake I made last week on Instagram & had a FIT over it. He said those colors were ‘so HIM!’ So my life got a LOT easier all of a sudden! I made him a small version of that cake, & got a chance to use my cool new crystal candleholder as a cake riser, which I lit from inside with LED tea lights.

The top tier is Lemon Velvet cake with lemon meringue buttercream filling & white chocolate ganache. It is completely coated in real silver leaf. The bottom tier is my Loaded Carrot Cake with white chocolate buttercream filling & white chocolate ganache. It is coated with candy sequin sprinkles airbrushed gold. The flowers are wafer paper ranunculus, from Kara’s Couture Cakes tutorial, only I painted them with gold & silver & embellished with glitter.

He was surprised &thrilled! He’s quite the baker himself, so I had a high standard to live up to! Here’s Kris with his cake!
