Read MoreSome birthday themes never go out of style, and ice cream is one of them.
For this custom two-tier birthday cake, Iwanted to capture everything that makes summer celebrations so memorable. Pastel colors create cheerful palette, while ice cream cones and sprinkles add playful charm throughout the design.
One of my favorite details is the scalloped border around the lower tier, inspired by the striped awnings of vintage ice cream carts. It adds just enough nostalgia while complementing the clean, buttercream finish.
Every Rose Vanilla cake is individually designed and handcrafted, ensuring each celebration receives a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects both the event and my signature buttercream style.
