So here is the little secret about making this cake....The hardest part is to have an idea and putting it together.
First Grab some silk flowers with colors you want....
I already had those and it was the perfect size...
Black granite always cast the nicest reflection and shadow. I love this one :)
Now, you need to bake the cakes and cut them to size...I wanted it to fit under my cloche....
I used everything i had on hand for the size. Make sure the cakes are FROZEN before cutting...Do not miss this step!
Layer the icing between the different parts...It will make 3 different cakes that i will cover with fondant. Parchment paper to keep the cakes from sticking to each other.
In the Freezer...
Then cover with icing the 3 different size cakes...Pink icing was all i had and it is a bad idea. Because if the fondant cracks, the pink icing shows. You want white icing. I still fixed it later by covering the cracks with white icing...
White fondant already made from the store...You roll it thin, then place it on the cake and with the palm of your hands smooth. Not too hard...It was my first time :)
Cut the sides with a sharp knife, to keep it to stick when you work with it, use confectioner's sugar.
I had a little helper...
Now, you have it!
I used chocolate icing to fill in between sections...
I used a different tip to do zig zags going from the top to the bottom.....A little slanted....Then placed the flowers (washed) at the curve sticking out.
I did it 3 times on the sides...
Kept it under my cloche in the fridge, to keep it fresh...
For the Strawberry sugar...Add few drops of Strawberry extract and mix well. You can do this with any extract.
