A pretty party cake for miss Isla 💗 this beauty A pretty party cake for miss Isla 💗 this beauty is my vegan vanilla cake + vegan vanilla buttercream dressed up with an @americolor fuchsia ombré + @fancysprinkles in the Roller Disco mix (100% vegan 🌱) something I learned with this cake is that vegan butter has a very low melting point, so by the time birthday girl wanted to blow out her candles the whole thing had melted in the summer heat 😱🥵 keep that in mind for your outdoor parties! Glad I snapped a “before” pic + glad it was for dear friends who could laugh with me about the melty mess it became 😅🤪

Stay tuned ☀️

NEW TUTORIAL: how to make a watercolor cake 👩🏽‍🎨 this pretty painterly finish is the perfect backdrop for all kinds of cake, whether you’re going for something elegant (like the first slide) or something more simple (like the last slide) ✨this is actually the same cake decorated two different ways AND uses only two colors to make the four shades that go into this palette (@americolor Fuchsia + Orange) 💗🧡 click the “Watercolor Cake Tutorial” link in my bio for the full blog post + YouTube video 🥰
Made my own birthday cake this year 🥳🥰 mainl Made my own birthday cake this year 🥳🥰 mainly because I had extra cake and buttercream laying around and I thought WHY NOT 😆 this little mini is my favorite one-bowl chocolate cake recipe + chocolate buttercream + @fancysprinkles in the “Hello Goodbye” mix 💗search “chocolate cake” at sugarandsparrow.com to get the recipe ✨ and PS I don’t normally shoot on a dark background like this one, but I just had the idea to start making my own photo backgrounds and I’ve been having so much fun with them (tutorial for you coming soon!!) 🙌🏽
