Pistachio & orange cake with pistachio crème mousseline and orange curd fillings.
Decorated with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, gold luster dust, and I made the gold frames out of pistachio marzipan that I put into molds.
I hand painted the pictures with food coloring on royal icing paper!
Super proud of this one although I want to get better at piping flowers 😭 I think the gold luster dust helps cover up how amateur they look lol. Super fun to make and my life is ruined by learning I can paint on royal icing like this, it’s all I want to do!

Super unusual. The gold brush against the bittersweet colored flowers is very nice.

Oh I’m obsessed. This is so unique I would get this for my best friend (I wouldn’t bc it’s not custom to him enough but this is a compliment I promise)
Long time lurker, just peeping out to say OP this is one of those “do you remember Sallys cake?” kind of cakes. The ones where people remember the event 10 years later purely because of the cake
Absolutely incredible, so very beautiful
This is so beautiful and unique! I’ve never seen this color combo on a cake before.
