Birthday wishes tied up in a bouquet of sugar flowers
This was the second cake I made for my mother-in-laws birthday. The other was vanilla, this one was chocolate. This has got to be one of my favourite designs to date -- I love everything about it. I love the gold coloured foil because it’s a change from the silver and it offers a soft warmth to the overall look of the cake. I love how the yellow flowers compliment it and balance the whole cake. The butterflies add dimension and colour, while the little white flowers compliment the white fondant. The ribbon pulls out and balances the black centres of the flowers and the variety of greens in the stems provide some interest. The ribbon around the bottom of the cake adds a level of sophistication, and the little card in the top left hand corner is simple and personal.
