This was definitely a rainbow explosion! Lexi, the birthday girl (hence the purple L on the top tier) came to me with a sketch of the cake she wanted complete with notes. She had really done her homework! She and her mom were so much fun to work with!!! The cake itself was vanilla cake colored using the rainbow tie-dye technique (no pics of inside yet :-( Then the whole cake was covered and decorated with fondant. The middle tier with the rainbow sunglasses is actually the print on a pair of shorts that the birthday girl had; she actually wore the shorts to my house the day she ordered and I took a picture of them so I wouldn't forget what it looked like. Anyway, the she wanted the zebra stripes and leopard spots and the edible streamers bursting from the top and sides... needless to say this cake was great fun to make, and the birthday girl was overjoyed to see her own vision come to life!
