Homemade First Birthday Cake

I made this first birthday cake for my friend's daughter's 1st birthday. She wanted a no. 1 shaped cake decorated with flowers and butterflies and I managed to find one exactly as she wanted it on-line. I'd never made a shaped cake before so I was a bit nervous.

So I made the no. 1 shape by baking two oblong shaped cakes and then I cut them up and built them into a no. 1 shape. I then covered the cake with vanilla buttercream and ivory coloured sugarpaste, and then decorated it.

Everyone loved it! I'm looking forward to my next challenge now!

Awesome job on the cake. How did you get the flower shape and butterfly? Did you do it by hand or have a cutter?
