Mint, Peach, and Gold

Mint green is so hot right now! It just keeps coming up in everything from clothes to cakes! I couldn’t be more pleased, I love this mellow, fun color! We recently worked up a new design for a show. I knew I wanted to do a first birthday cake design, and I wanted it to be pretty gender neutral. I started with a “canvas” of rustic, textured buttercream. Then I started seeing elements of vintage birthday parties with ruffly paper poms, bunting, and pinwheels. Soon the color scheme started to form in my mind- mild, muted tones of mint green and peach, with a great vintage gold to add a pop. This cake was just fun, from concept to creation!
