My first time doing basket weave and attempting mums.
I made this cake for our family vacation. Each element on it are highlights from our vacation last year. Hubby's uncle has a beautiful garden and pergola, which is where we spent most of our vacation when we weren't at the beach. The top tier is a Chocolate Grappa Cake and the bottom 2 tiers are golden sponge cake. All covered with my homemade marshmallow fondant. The decorations are Gum paste flowers and shells, chocolate shells and Buddha, and a modeling chocolate pergola floor and path. The grass, hastas, and trellis are buttercream.
The customer found a similar cake online and this was my version of it. Dark Chocolate Cake with Buttercream icing covered in homemade marshmallow fondant. The rose topper is made of fondant hand painted and colored with gold luster dust. The "belt" is swirls made from royal icing and also colored with luster dust. The roses on the cake are made from royal icing.
I was so excited with how the cake came out that I forgot to clean up my kitchen and wash my table BEFORE I took the picture! LOL There is a bag of powdered sugar peeking out from behind the cake making it look like the middle tier is peeling... I assure you it's not.
It came out darker than I wanted it to but all in all I was very happy with it.
