Yellow Cake with Purple Gerbera Daisies
This cake was made for someone who just turned 40. She was very excited about her birthday and insisted that I made a cake to mark the occasion. I decided to go will striking colors which compliment each other. Though the flowers photograph as blue in the pictures, they are actually purple.
The cake itself is a Nigerian Cake frosted with vanilla buttercream frosting. The design work on the cake was done with Marshmallow fondant.
The flowers are of course the striking features of this cake. They are gerbera daisies. A tutorial on how to make these daisies can be found here.
On the top of the cake is a message celebrating her. I decided to go with the words “Forty and Fabulous.”
I wish her many more years of celebration….and cakes 🙂

Use a hand steamer or steam over a pot of boiling water for a few seconds.
