This Vanilla Cake with Swiss Buttercream was made for my girlfriend's niece's birthday party. It's always fun to collaborate with her because we have different styles. Flor is bold and fierce - she originally wanted neon shades which was like scratching a record in my brain. I love muted tones and my favorite color is gray - super fun, right? Needless to say, Flor can push me out of my comfort zone and it's awesome ♥ Thanks lady!
As you can see, we didn't quite land on neon because I wanted the wrappers to complement the frosting. I think we met right in the middle between muted and bold! Bold mutes? Either way. With six different colors, I was very proud of myself for using only one piping bag to reduce waste.
The venue of the birthday party was an indoor trampoline warehouse. To match the overall theme, my super creative husband made the cupcake toppers with kids jumping and flipping about. We used basic paper with the home printer and made them double-sided. Nothing a glue stick and a lollipop stick can't handle! Thanks, hubby!
