My wonderful friends Emily and Stephen shared a joint 30th birthday party this weekend. Emily's birthday is in December, and Stephen's birthday is in March, so they decided to co-celebrate at the end of January!
They are a fun, sophisticated, and lovely couple, so they needed a fun, sophisticated, and lovely cake. The colors were black, white, and metallic, so we obviously went with that in a gender-neutral theme. To support the celebration, we of course went with a 2-tiered champagne cake with champagne Swiss Meringue buttercream icing. This gave me the opportunity to try a
new recipe, as well as a new decorating technique. I was also able to test out the timelapse function in my iPhone camera! Super fun.

If you don't know about damming your filling, you should - adding an icing dam around the edge of your cake is critical to ensuring that your filling doesn't leak out when you stack your layers! |
|
Such a fun and sophisticated theme! |

I was worried there wouldn't be enough cake, so I made cake pops dusted with gold and silver stars as well. Spoiler alert: there was definitely enough cake! |

Check out this spread! |

And check out this gorgeous couple! |
If you are interested, here's my timelapse. I definitely need to figure out a better setup/location for my phone, but this app is pretty impressive (even with this horrible angle!):
Thank you to Emily and Stephen for inviting me to be a part of their celebration!
xoxo,
Clare
