Trina, one of our clients, who also blogs at Suth Life share pictures of the beautiful cake she made recently:

You can see more pictures at Trina’s Blog.

Here is what Trina wrote about making here cake:

This was a sweet sixteen cake that I made last week. I bought the 5 lbs. of Wilton’s fondant to make the city skyline of buildings for the outside of the cake from Chocolate Belles. I also purchased the colors, the silver dust, star mold and white chocolate from them as well. The cake was a white cake with a buttercream icing and raspberrying filling. The family absolutely adored the cake and others in attendance loved the moist, scrumptious cake! I couldn’t be anymore pleased with the results. Thank you, Chocolate Belles!
