Architecture Themed Farewell Cake
This cake was for a farewell party for a family that I know and I was closest to the mother. She's also a photographer. To get inspiration for this cake, I looked over her photography. And since they've been in Europe, I noticed a lot of pictures of buildings. As I pondered this, and knowing that my friend is more a classy person who doesn't like tons of color on a cake, I decided to limit my palette. And I chose two architectural styles from her photographs to be represented on the cake. I chose what is called a half-timbered style, which can be seen in this photo: I was also inspired by the rococo style of architecture, which you can see here: (photo credits: Britnae Sanelli Photography) These styles are very different, but I felt they could be brought together in the two tiers. This was also the cake I made dairy free, gluten free and soy free, so see blog posts on how I did that here: How I altered my vanilla cake recipe for intolerances: https://americanbak...
