Un' Altra Torta Per Una Cara Amica… Another Cake For A Dear Friend…
When Yuri asked me to make the Birthday Cake for Linda's Safari Themed Birthday Party, I wasn't inspired, and had no idea what I wanted to do. I decided to keep it simple and elegant. I made a Chocolate Cake which I filled with an Orange Chocolate Ganache , then topped it with the Ganache and covered it with Fondant. I painted the Fondant with Gold Luster Dust, then painted it in a Cheetah pattern. I created a stylized poppy with Gum Paste, painted it with Gold Luster Dust, and added a jewel to the center. I was happy with the cake , and the party was lots of fun…as usual… Next up, Tami's Birthday, hosted by me…

Oh my gosh, that's amazing, Mary. The poppy looks so real. I have always loved the animal prints, so this caught my eye right away. How pretty that you placed it on a mirror.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the party turned out fun, and that cake must have been the main attraction.
