My mother wants a hungarian themed cake for my grandmothers 88th birthday, but i have no idea where too start. I know its going to be a 8in round covered in fondant. Any ideas would be wonderful!

If I were making the cake, I would use Hungarian embroidery designs. They're quite famous - I often look at them on eBay and drool.

Here are pictures:

Two of the major types are Matyo and Kalocsa, so you can also search on those words.
