Let's start with stars!

For those of you that don't know, I've been on a bit of a "stars" kick lately - and not just for patriotic holidays. Birthday cakes, Fathers day cakes, all sorts of stars! Here are some examples. These first 2 are nearly identical - though one has an added layer which is gluten free for the birthday girl who has Celiacs.

The bottom layer of this cake was white with strawberry mousse, while the top was white with chocolate mousse.

The bottom of this cake was white with strawberry mousse, the middle was lemon with lemon mousse and the top was gluten free white cake with lemon mousse.

This is a mini-star cake - the bottom was 6", top was 4" - both cakes were lemon with lemon mousse and raspberry preserves.
Another Father's Day stars cake - this one was pineapple cake with pineapple mousse. Also a 6" with a 4" on top

Even a sheet cake can be "starred" up! For one of my biggest fans! This is "wedding cake" with buttercream icing in the middle and on the outside.


Just because I said not "only" for patriotic holidays doesn't mean I've left them out! This was a red/white and blue cake completely. The cake layers were red and blue and had white buttercream in between.
Though I think this cake should technically go somewhere else - it fits the stars theme. Bottom layer was Orange with pineapple mousse, middle layer was lemon with lemon mousse and top was white with strawberry mousse - the birthday girl's favorite!

And last, but not least, the cake that I *think* started the stars obsession du jour (okay, of the year!) - for a Company dance banquet. All layers white with strawberry mousse.
