Tie Dye

OK, so I have a wedding cake to do in July. Pretty big deal, really and very cool I might add!!  My B2B (Bride to Be) is using tie dye as her color theme (also pretty cool!). 

While researching another technique, I came across a tutorial for a "rainbow cake" - of course this set my mind in motion wondering if I could actually pull off a "tie dye" tier for this wedding cake, and if I could, how happy would the B2B be?  Let's just say, she will be getting her tie dye cake tier come July!!

For the test run, I even did a tie dye frosting.  It is a simple cream cheese frosting that I flavored with almond extract and I have to say, the frosting was pretty darn good.  Of course for the wedding cake, no tie dye frosting, but it was fun to play around. 

I even made some tie dye cuppies to go along with the cake while I was at it. 


Each cuppie and each slice is different and unique, just as each piece of tie dye art should be.


Have to say, I love Brides who like to think outside the box and who will let me have a little bit of a creative outlet when it comes to their cake!  Really, shouldn't your wedding cake express your individuality and not look like every other wedding cake out there?   So, thanks to my B2B and I am so looking forward to seeing the look on the guests faces when the happy couple cuts into their Tie Dye tier!
