Homemade Farm Birthday Cake

This Farm Birthday Cake was my 4th cake to make. I picked the design off the internet. I saw a cake that was a lot like this and thought it was so cute.

I used 2 9 inch rounds on the bottom and 2 6 inch rounds for the top. I made the cakes and then I put them together with buttercream icing. I made sure the buttercream was put on real thin and smooth so the fondant would lay on well. I rolled out the white fondant to about 1/4 inch thick and then added the black fondant balls. Then I finished rolling the fondant out and that is how I got the cow print.

When the fondant is about 1/8 inch thick I pick it up and lay it over the cake. Then I pat it down around the cake and cut off the excess. I did the same process with the blue. Then I just laid the top cake on the bottom cake. To make the fence I just cut strips and laid them on the cake like a fence.

I used a ricer to make the green grass, I just pushed it through and cut it off. The little animals are all just fondant. I just sculpted them and just sat them on the cake. This was one of the easiest cakes I have made of the 6 I have made so far. It looks difficult but it really is not. People were so impressed with this one and it was the easiest!
