Thanks to MyCakeSchool.com's blog and all the other inspiring cake pics I've seen here, I decided to try my hand at this very easy, yet beautiful cake design! I made it for my mother-in-law's birthday. The top tier was strawberry with lemon filling, and the bottom was fudge marble with chocolate filling. I wanted it to look like it went from darker yellow at the top to pale yellow at the bottom, like a gradient, so I actually had to do one row of dots at a time all the way around the cake and then lighten my frosting and do the next row. It was a little bit time-consuming, but still a lot of fun! Oh, and the flower is made of sugar paste :-) It was supposed to be a peony, but it's not really... I don't know what it is... LOL!!!
