Although my gratitude can often be unconventional and subtle, there is no shortage of it throughout the year. Today, however, it comes in the form of cake - ruffled and pearled.
I should note that this is my first tiered cake - YAY!! Both tiers are vanilla bean, filled and masked with white chocolate ganache. The base is two 6" and the top tier, 4". I used a rose cutter set that comes with six pieces/sizes - I placed the larger petals as the base row and used the next size down as I made my way up the base tier. For the pearls I used a pearl mould - the same one I used to create the pearls on this cake. The mould and instructions to make the brooch can be found here. I added some colour and shine with my new decorating addiction - edible dust.
By the time this post goes live, you would have already had your celebratory brunches, dinners etc. I hope that your day was filled with love, laughter and the company of loved ones.
Happy Mother's Day!

This cake is just stunning and the fact that the ruffles and pearls represent different times in your life is very, very beautiful.
