Purple Swirls Birthday Cake

Elenor, a return customer, wanted me to create a birthday cake for her granddaughter. Her favorite color being purple. She wanted something simple but different.

We decided on Vanilla Cake with a Chocolate Mousse filling and Vanilla Buttercream frosting. I added a touch of color to my swirled roses on top of the cake and cut out a purple fondant bordered filled with pearl sprinkles.

The pictures don't do the "purple" much justice. It actually matched the food painted cake board the cake sits upon. I'm still working on picture taking : ) !!!

I took food coloring and sprayed my cake board to match the cake and ribbon......actually I like the idea of doing this. Its simple and cost effective for everyone. I think its a nice touch, instead of a white board staring at you in the face : )
