Made this for a customer's wife's 56th birthday. He told me she likes hydrangeas and basket weave, so i designed the cake around that. The top tier is actually a hat box, but I ended up with so many flowers (and wasn't about NOT to put them on the cake hehe) that it's hard to see the lid.

Cake: Top tier-6" round Chocolate Butter cake, buttercream, hazelnut mousse, chocolate ganache over the entire tier under the fondant basket weave. Bottom tier-10" square Golden Butter cake, buttercream, hazelnut mousse, cookies'n'cream filling, chocolate ganache, fondant.

Decorations: Flowers, bow, curlicues, pearl balls-gum paste. Basket weave-fondant.
