Landscaping Tools Birthday Cake
This is the cake that I made for my son's 3rd birthday. He wanted a lawn mower/landscaper theme. The cake is covered in buttercream frosting with fondant leaves and fondant rocks. I made the lawn mower, chainsaw, edger, and backpack blower out of a mixture of fondant and gum paste.
This cake is soooo beautiful! I want to make something like this. I wonder how you made the leaves/grass hanging over the rocks. Did you use a mall?
Hi! Thanks so much. I actually just cut the “leaves” freehand out of rolled fondant and applied them before I put the fondant rocks on the sides. They were just oblong triangles and very easy to make. I meant them to sort of look like like the hosta in our yard.
Awhh thankyou so much for answering! It really looks so good, and handmade too! May I also ask how you made the rocks? I wonder if you used white fondant and colored them with colors or mixed different color fondant. Thanks already!
I just used white fondant and mixed part if it with brown food coloring and the other part with a little black so the “stones” would look realistic. Easiest thing in the world.
Thank you so much! I saw a tutorial from a man used brown and black in his stones. But I'm just a beginner, so I still need to learn a lot. Thank you so much for your help!
