Cake And Cupcake Garden

This is a cake made for my daughter's 5th birthday party. It is based on a Wilton design but I used chocolate for the cupcake flowers. The cake is a golden vanilla buttermilk recipe and the icing is an italian meringue tinted green

This is too cute! I too would love to know how you made the "water."

Very neat!!! Great job!!

Thanks! The "water" is made from bending white florist wire and gluing blue royal icing drops (make them in advance) to the wires. Then you glue the wires to the watering can with royal icing.

Now that's a cute idea! What a fun imagination!

I'd love to take the credit but like I was saying in the description, it's inspired by a photo in one of the 2006 Wilton books. They give great instructions.
