Spring Into Innovation

Thanks to Brenda and Cheri for joining in last week's buttercream vs. fondant discussion! I'll revisit the topic in a post later this week.

When Baking Buyer's Design of the Times E-Newsletter launched last month, we asked for pictures of your favorite spring-themed cakes. This week's spring cake comes from Soraya Balleydier, owner of Dream Pastries in Castle Rock, CO. The cake was created in March. 

Soraya is a very talented decorator, and we're happy to showcase her beautiful cake. She writes: "I made this dummy cake for a Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.  The theme was 'Sweet Sixteen.'  Hope you like it! I wanted to display different techniques possible: brush embroidery, pleating, imprinting, stenciling."
 To see more of Soraya's work, visit the Dream Pastries website. 

If you'd like to see your spring cake featured in our Baker's Blog, please send a picture and a description of the cake, as well as the decorator's name to my e-mail—stucker@sosland.com. Don't be shy! We'd love to show off your skills!
