Flowers, flowers everywhere!!!

I think this is my favorite cake yet!!! It's a chocolate 8" cake with buttercream icing. I tinted the buttercream a light green (this really seemed to help the flowers pop). Everything else is made from fondant (not as much gum tex this time!). There are flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, and even a couple of ladybugs!

Pink and Purple Flowers for Kaylee


I did this cake for my friend Amanda's little girl Kaylee. It's a double fudge cake with butter cream icing and pink and purple fondant flowers. She really wanted a tiered cake, but there weren't going to be a lot of people at the party, so I did small layers on it. The bottom is one 8" cake cut in half to make two layers and the top is a 6" also cut in half. The cake turned out great, but I added a little too much gum tex to my fondant. The held up great, but didn't taste as good as usual!
