Cocoa & Fig Buttercream Icing Styles

At Cocoa & Fig, a buttercream cake is a classic celebration cake with 3 layers of cake, 2 layers of buttercream filling along with a layer of buttercream icing on the exterior of the cake.  The exterior buttercream can be styled just enough to make the cake look festive and beautiful.  Fresh flowers, fruit, bunting, or a cake topper are a nice finishing touch, or if you prefer, we can write a personalized inscription on top. 

Below is a sampling of some of our buttercream icing styles:

"Welcome Baby" Polka Dot Giraffe Cake

This adorable baby giraffe cake was created by Cocoa & Fig for a baby shower. Using an orange, blue, and lime green color scheme, we accented both the giraffe and the cake with fondant polka dots.

"Greet-The-Baby" Shower Dessert Table

Florist extraordinaire and designer Jennifer Frisbie contacted us to create some uniquely adorable mini desserts for a "Greet-The-Baby" Shower she was planning.  Using a pink and grey color palette, the event had classic style with beautiful fresh floral arrangements throughout.

Cocoa & Fig mini desserts included Chocolate Cake Lollipops, Raspberry French Macarons, Raspberry Swirl Cheesecakes, Caramel Tarts Topped with Chocolate, Tiramisu Dessert Shooters, and White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.

BABY SHOWER CAKE

I'm oh so excited to share this very modern baby shower cake design with everyone! This pregnant lady silhouette was so fun on the invitation that we just had to mimic it for the party cake. Simple, clean, and elegant!

Congratulations!
