Turquoise petal cake......

My sweet daughter, Madison had her birthday this week. So for her party, I chose the colors of pink and shades of turquoise. I love to follow fashion, fabrics, home decor, etc.. I love the petal pillows that are so popular, and I found one that had circles folded in half, so I chose that design to replicate onto the bottom tier of the cake. I used two shades of turquoise. The top tier I made fondant ombre hearts, and topped the cake with three hearts. She chose chocolate bacon cake on bottom with chocolate mousse, and french vanilla with french vanilla mousse on top! I was so happy to make this cake for my precious girl!

Donna, you did a great job! I'll bet it was the hit of the party! I'm sure the chocolate bacon cake was awesome. I had chocolate covered bacon a while back at a candy store in PA and I was surprised at how much I liked it. But what do you expect when you put two of the best food groups together? Great job!

AnnieCahill, when I went with my husband to Hawaii to shoot a wedding, we walked into several bakeries and they had chocolate covered bacon AND chocolate covered spam. :) It sparked my interest on the bacon part, so I found a recipe one day for chocolate bacon cupcakes and made then, and everyone loved them. You are so right, it's was surprising how good the combo was. I guess the sweet and salty together always gets me! Thank you for your kind words. Thank you Jillchill5, and kimmiesue2009! I really appreciate your sweet words!
