Birthday time for one of the Crafty Girls -
Jann, from Have A Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson,
that I featured on my last post,
and I volunteered to make the cake.
I decided to make my
but I wanted to jazz it up a bit.
I played around with some white chocolate
coating, cutting it into triangles, and
making swoops with the back of a spoon,
and then dusting it with pink praline powder
that I got in Paris.
I dolled up some lemon and raspberry macarons
that I found at Costco ($15 for 36) with a little
glitter.
Some pearls and fresh raspberries finished off
the top of the cake.
I love the look of these wing-like swoops.
Just dip your spoon in the white chocolate
and smear it onto parchment paper. Make
extras in case the thin chocolate at the edge
breaks when you remove it.
The frosting is a lemon whip cream, so we took
a quick picture and then put it back in the
fridge until we served it after dinner.
Jann's birthday cake was lit off with these amazing
I had seen them years ago in a fancy restaurant in
town, and tried to contact the company to purchase them,
but no luck! Now you can buy them online!
They are the perfect topping for this showstopper cake.
