A Cake Made for Pearl

Pearl is my grandma.  Well, she is my mom's mom.  I don't remember my grandma.  She passed away when I was 1 years old.  From what I know, my mom is a lot like my grandma.  To me my grandma Pearl represents hopes, dreams, support, and inspiration which is why I am starting a small business in her name.  

My first 3 tiered cake was completely inspired by my mom and my grandma.

This is the beginning of the process. Covering the cakes and stenciling anything into the fondant.

      

Step 2 in the process was applying all of the pearls to the cake.

 

Gum Paste Flowers had to be made ahead of time.

String work with pearl accents.  I love string work!

 

Side by Side Comparisons

My flowers starting to be applied to the top tier.

Final Rose in the middle!

My cake will be displayed for the next 6 months at the college I took my course.
