Artist’s Palette Cake

This cake was inspired by my “little sister” Johanna who is a talented artist. I thought the cake would be perfect for her 11th birthday. I started with an 8″ round cake, then carved away a small section to create the curve of the palette. The “thumb hole” was carved out as well. To finish, the entire cake was iced with a traditional Italian Buttercream. The “finishing touch,” the paint brush, was a simple butter cookie, frosted with colored icing. The cake itself was a yellow cake layered with orange curd and fresh blackberries.
Love the brush! It really makes the cake. Great idea!
Put that one in your pride packet! I want that cake. I’m an artist. Not 11 years old, but still . . .
Keep em coming.
love,
