Flower Cakes

I recently made two cakes for a luncheon honoring a baby blessing.



The yellow cake was a 6" butter cake. The decoration is buttercream around the sides, whipped cream on top, and buttercream accents around fresh berries.





The cake was 4 layers of butter cake and 3 layers of filling: strawberries and cream, boysenberries and cream, and raspberries and cream.



The pink cake was a 9" chocolate cake. Other than the cake flavor, it was the same as the yellow cake.





This one went quickly. Berries, cream, and chocolate is a very nice combination.
