Black & White Polka Dot Cake

June 2, 2014 by Carrie Sellman

Happy Monday!  We’re starting off the week on a bright note with a feature that is all about patterns and pop.  Black and white is such a bold color scheme, full of contrast and oh-so-crisp.  It is a classic combo that can stand on its own or can easily mingle with softer hues.  While we often see black and white paired with pinks and corals, today’s cake proves that black and white is up for anything.  Even an eye catching pop of yellow!  Now add in some stripes, polka dots and an abundance of ruffles and you’ll have today’s perfectly pretty cake.  It comes to us from Eva Salazar, owner of Make Me My Cake, and is seriously chic.  And just wait until you see this fabulous bow!

Eva Salazar of Make Me My Cake shared a few thoughts about her design:

“I don’t really work with yellow much, but I had the occasion to do it and I have to admit that I absolutely love it.  It’s a warm color that combines perfectly with the black and white. I also incorporated a big bow in the center.”

    This is stunning! I’m curious what tip was used for the gold swirls? I’ve done something like this but mine never turned out this beautiful. I’m wondering if I used the wrong tip.

      It looks like the swirls are individual fondant pieces, not icing or buttercream.But I may be wrong. There was a cupcake tutorial on CakeCentral that looked like it. I’m curious about the brooch in the center of the bow though. Any ideas?
