Chevron Cake

Chevron cakes are in! Such a simple design, but the wow factor is there. This one was actually done as a non-traditional baby shower cake in the nursery colors. I made it a double barrel, 8" white chocolate cake with strawberry filling, and white chocolate ganache under the fondant. Even though the design is simple, it turned out that it was very time consuming cutting each stripe with angled ends, and getting them positioned right on the cake. I still had to rim some of the ends as I went...really precision work. The flower is a gumpaste peony made with a center to match the navy and lime colors of the cake.
