Wood Grain Cake with Flowers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cake was made for the birthday of a very close friend. I had always wanted to execute this design and her birthday gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. This cake is covered with fondant wood grain panels and features 4 different types of flowers. It was a hit and the celebrant loved it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cake itself is a red velvet cake frosted with cream cheese frosting. All the design work was done using marshmallow fondant. This cake has inspired other cakes like the cakes below.
