I decided to make a cake for my friend Stephanie’s 21st birthday and she wanted something special with hibiscus flowers. She wanted it to be black and pink, but I threw some orange in there to shake it up a bit! I’m not a professional.. obviously.. but I did try! I took Wilton classes last year and have never applied them until now.
Pretty much this is a red velvet two tiered cake with chocolate buttercream icing tinted black. I then used white buttercream tinted pink for the boarder and the dots. The flowers are pink and orange Wilton fondant which I sculpted by hand and the middle of the daisies are sugar coated. To get the icing smooth I refrigerated it and then took a paper towel and a fondant smoother and kind of ran it over the cake to smooth out any bumps! I wanted it to look kind of like fondant without being fondant, (the taste isn’t but so appeasing when you buy it from the store!)
She loved this Hibiscus Flower Birthday Cake Design, and I’m quite proud, so I thought I’d share it will all of you!
