This Garden Birthday Cake was my first attempt at a stacked cake. The cake is vanilla sponge layered and coated with orange buttercream.
I then covered the cake in fondant and decorated with gum paste flowers and trees and used some floristry wire to stand the gumpaste clouds and sun on the top.
I used cutters for the flowers and drew my own templates for the trees, clouds and sun. I then painted some texture on the trees and some grass round the bottom of each layer with some gel colouring thinned with a little vodka. I also piped some buttercream leaves around each layer.
It isn’t perfect, but I was very pleased with the end result!
looks professional! Love it! I do cakes all the time for friends showers and I’ve been afraid to try fondant and gum paste. You have given me the courage. Trees, cloud, and sun in 2 dimensional are a great idea and look great.
