I won a book at my cake club meeting, painting on cakes a while ago. So I thought I'd give it a try. First thing I realized is, I didn't have the expensive brushes suggested in the book.....sooooo, I used what I had, and adapted. I also decided to have some fun by adding coffee filter paper pansies & a ruffle to the edge of the cake, wanted some whimsy. Bottom is a 8"dummy. Top is a tree trunk cake. Cake is almond orange torted with buttercream laced with triple sec liqueur, covered in triple sec flavoured ganache. And of course, topped with Valentine's heart. Really had fun doing this.... Happy Valentine's Day everyone....
