Let Them Eat Cake

And if you haven't had enough of my cakes this summer, then here's just one more for you. The design is from a Wilton Cake Decorating class booklet. The cake itself came from Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes book that I have tried several recipes from now, and have really enjoyed.

It is a Coconut Cake with a Coconut Buttercream filling and covered in Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I love this buttercream for its silky smooth texture. I made the daisies with royal icing and used Wilton Cake Sparkles to give the yellow centers their texture. The cake was served on top some spooned Coconut Creme Anglaise. The Anglaise was so delicious and added so much to the taste, texture, and presentation of the serving.

There is some sort of accomplishment being able to create a cake like this from scratch. But the best part is that it was so much fun to do and then share with everyone.
