A Wedding Cake by a Pastry Chef
About Pastry Chef Danielle
Ever since I was a little girl I love baking. It all started one Christmas season, my mother let me bake all the Christmas goodies for the month of December. I fell completely in love with baking. I knew from that moment on I wanted to become a Pastry Chef! As soon as I graduated from High school I attended the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Pasadena, Ca. I specialized and got my diploma strictly in baking and patisseries. I wanted to do wedding cakes, I love the intricate detail that goes in to making a edible master piece.
With over 12 years of experience, I still love baking even more now , then when I started. There's so many new ways to create beautiful textures and designs out of sugar. I want to share my passion of baking with everyone! And perhaps, leave behind tips and ideas for your next wedding, party cake, or any other baking goods that you want to create.
Below is a wedding cake that I created for a wedding cake photo shoot!
I had such a blast making this cake!!
Above are handmade calla Lillie's and a handmade vase made out of fondant. Painted with petal dust.
The top tier is decorated out of a fondant that have been feathered out in to strips. (6" square)
The second tier is decorated with royal icing and painted on edible gold and different hues of green to tie in the calla lilies together. Sprinkled on gold sprinkles for a different effect. (10" square)
The bottom tier is decorated out of fondant with handmade ruffles. I placed them directly on to the buttercream cake. Didn't need to add a sheet of fondant because that would be too much icing and just a waste of product. (16" round)
The flavors of the cake were simple but really tasty. It was just chocolate cake, white chocolate Swiss buttercream with chopped Oreo cookies and a crushed up chocolate candy bar. Soooo good! But I love chocolate! :)

Hi Danielle.
Can you do an Introduceyourself post and verification?
https://steemit.com/steemit/@reneenouveau/verification-and-you-how-why-how-to-ask-and-how-not-be-a-usd-about-it
These are cakes that you have made yourself, right?
Thanks,
Yes, these are 100% my cakes that I have made. I'll have to look in to that introduce post. Thanks!
Thanks. If you tag a post as "#introduceyourself' you will get a lot of new views, votes and probably several new followers. Then those new followers will be more likely to see future posts. You aren't getting enough views right now.

Also, if you do too many posts in the same day, people may not want to spread their votes out that thin. It is limited the # of post that we can vote out without diluting our voting power that much. If you do one great post, you may get 100% votes, but if you do 6 posts per day a person might give you only a 20% vote on each post.
There's a lot to learn about Steem. I wish you all the best here.
That's good to know! Thank you for the information! :)
