For someone who is OCD like me, this is perfect. The only thing wrong with it is when they put berrys on it. It makes it look broken up.
i agree actually, I have OCD too and these are so satisfying

I love things that look perfect especially writing, I have ocd too and this is a little satisfying the decorations ruin it a little
How are the cakes made so smooth to begin with? Fondant or something similar?
I would like to know what the recipe for the more rustic/ grainy looking decoration
OMGosh what artistry. These are incredibly beautiful. I especially loved the elegance of the Elderberries.
That is so beautiful , my fave one is deffo the blue donut . ????????????
It says pour over chocolate and beurre mix....what chocolate and buerre mix? I read it 3 times and I am apparently blind and stupid. I don't get it, but I like it.
I'm missing it too but found something comparable: http://www.gretchensbakery.com/mirror-glaze-recipe

Absolutely fabulous. The look is clean, fresh and very unique!
Has anyone tried? What is the consistency of the icing? Does it dry out quickly? Curious to try.
I believe beurre is butter, they left that out of the list of ingredients, but at the end mention pouring the hot mix over the chocolate and the beurre. So take that into consideration if you try to make this recipe.
I'd say you also need to frost the cake with a smooth finish to correct any existing imperfections ;)
