Here is my contribution to the Ombré Cakes collection for Cake Masters’ current Color Boom issue (May 2016). I was assigned the PINK colour. When designing this cake I gave predominance to the ombre element, which element can be seen throughout the whole design of the cake. Rows of blossoms were brush embroidered in four different shades of pink and joined together by small lines piped in royal icing in the same shade as the flowers, to create a lace effect. Other decorations where kept to a minimum with just a small sugar paste bow and ribbon.

It was a great honour for me to contribute along with other amazing cake artist to this collection of Ombré Cakes for Cake Masters and I truly enjoyed making this cake using brush embroidery which is one of my favorite techniques. Thank you so much Laura Loukaides for inviting me to participate.
