Somewhere around the late ’80s, I swore off gold. No more gold earrings, gold bracelets, or gold necklaces for me. I also renounced pastels. Pinks and lavenders, mint and seafoam green, and especially mauve and peach were now officially anathema to me.
Then, almost overnight, I love gold and pastels again. I’m not sure when it happened or how, but I took a look at my cakespiration pinboard, and the majority of my pins were pastels and gold. Check these out and you’ll see what I mean.
And then it’s full speed ahead, with a new pair of gold earrings, a pastel duvet cover, and this cake with a gold chevron and pastel sugar flowers inspired by my Pinterest boards.
Special thanks to Brooke Allison for the photos. Damn, she’s good.

Wow! I love this cake. It’s perfect for a a wedding cake. I love the floral design on it! It looks delish.
Seriously this is one of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of cakes. Very very very good job! I’m going to keep staring for a while now…
Wow. Gotta say thanks for that one!
Gorgeous cake! Did you use a cutter for the chevron or did you cut it by hand?
This is truly the most stunningly beautiful cake I have ever seen. It’s magical!
Hello, I was just wondering if I could have your permission to use your image of this cake (gold chevron) for a painting? If not, it’s fine, just wanted to ask first. (:
Sure! I would love to see the painting when you’re done.
Oh thank you so much!! It’s a very beautiful cake! (:
