Spring Quarter 2010:
The project was to decorate a 3 tier "cake" ---> which for preservation purposes was actually styrofoam cylinders. The fact that styrofoam is substituted for cake doesn't make this project anymore difficult or easy. One of the owners of Wagner's European Bakery in DT Olympia came in to critique our final cake. I decided to do a nature themed cake with birds and lemon flowers. I hand crafted every flower with gum paste; same with the branches and cardinal birds. I hand painted (with food coloring) the second tier to create the illusion of layers of trees and depth. I used a ribbon as teh trim. Let me know what you think!
P.s. this was my first fondant cake. So be nice. haha, just kidding viewers, let loose!
beautiful!
