For a lady's birthday that was right after Christmas. I assumed she probably got plenty of red/christmasy cakes and took this one in a totally different direction. (I was given creative discretion for this one.)
Vanilla cake with cream cheese buttercream icing. Flowers are royal icing while scrolls were piped with star tip. Edible glitter was sprinkled over cake for a shimmery look that doesn't show up well in the picture.
