So I promised my aunt a birthday cake awhile before her birthday and wasn’t able to make it to Virginia Beach for the Fourth of July (her birthday was the 5th) so I told her I owed her one the next time I came to visit. I was there last weekend and immediately got to work. I’d never worked with fondant flowers before, so I decided to do a little experimenting. Instead of making my own fondant, I bought Wilton’s version. (which tastes like tasteless dough btw). I picked a few colors and started punching out flowers. It worked out pretty well and the punches actually harden pretty quickly.
I decided on a chocolate cake with raspberry filling. This gave me a chance to try out the chocolate version of my almond sour cream wedding cake.
Then last but not least, I decorated using those colorful fondant flowers!
The top read “Happy Belated Birthday” but I didn’t like my choice of light pink icing. Oh well. I was pleased with the finished product and so was my aunt : )
