I made this cake for my grandmother's 82nd Birthday. Lavender is her favorite color and she loves flowers.

Gumpaste magnolia (my 2nd try at making flowers). Freehand fondant cutouts, and first time trying to "paint" on fondant. Gel color wasn't mixed thoroughly with vodka so color ended up too thin in some areas and clumpy in others. Learned to make sure color is mixed really well before painting and to practice on a scrap piece of fondant for consistency before working on final piece.

I wish I took a picture of the cake when cut. The cake flavor was Ube (purple yam) and filling was Macapuno (young coconut strings in syrup) and SMBC, so it was also purple inside when it was cut.
