I Learned two tier birthday cake

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Advanced Fondant Techniques »

Instructions

I used some of the techniques from the course adding my own techniques to make this unique cake

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Girls


Materials

Two chocolate orange sponge cakes, fondant icing, petal paste and elephant patchwork cutters.

What was your inspiration?

It was for my granddaughters first birthday and I thought it would be fun to add elephants and also wanted to try out some of the news things I learned from the course

What are you most proud of?

The elephant because it actually looks like
an elephant and before my animals haven't really worked out, I once did a bear and everyone thought it was a dog. I love the striped top tier and also the ribbon something I have never done before

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have a go it just takes time to perfect a craft. If you don't succeed the first time don't give up.
