Faux Birthday Cake
This is actually a "fake" cake. It's the pans turned upside down and decorated. I wanted to practice but I was gaining a little weight having to eat what I made so I thought of this instead. The back side is not even fully covered. hee hee (If you browse through the wedding cakes...you will see this cake decorated for a wedding) It's an easy way to build your portfolio...
Cute design on the sides!
Very clever, and nice looking! Did you have any troubles getting the frosting to stick to the pans?
The fondant wanted to come off but I used a little royal icing to stick it!
How did you make the names
Very pretty!
On this particular cake, I used royal icing and a large round tip for the name...but I have since found that you get smoother results by using gumpaste, rolling into fat round noodles and shaping it into the name. Just let it dry thoroughl! Thanks for your interest!
how did you do the flowers on the bottom layer? They look great!
The flowers are just fondant cut with a wilton flower cutter...I used a rounded stick to shape the petals ad I stuck them on with royal icing....then I used the same royal icing to pipe the designs around the flowers...very simple ...thanks for asking
Whoa! Amazing! I love this cake. The flower design is so unique. Your talent is mind-boggling!
