Clean & modern Mother’s Day cake

This absolutely beautiful modern Mother’s Day cake by Bluprint member and cake artist motowifey combines both natural and modern elements with a bright and fresh color palette. Completed in the Bluprint class Clean & Simple Cake Design with Jessica Harris, the waxed-paper transfer method was utilized to add the striped pattern, and the cake was topped with an exquisite gum paste peony. Finally, the design was personalized with the word MOM, created from fondant molds.
