YAY! I got to make another cake!! Here is the Gerber Daisy Cake that I made for Sarah’s Birthday (Gerber daisies are one of Sarah’s favorite flowers.) I made the flowers out of gum paste and that was way fun to do. Gum paste doesn’t have much flavor though so though so they looked better than they tasted!
I rolled the fondant a lot thinner this time and it smoothed on so much easier, plus the cake wasn’t crazy heavy. I ended up not using the purple flowers, they were supposed to go in the cake pot that ended up collapsing.
This is the cake pot that was supposed to sit on the green striped bottom layer, it collapsed when I tried to fix the loose fondant on the bottom after stacking it. I set it on the table and left the room and came back to a half eaten cake and a comatosed Boo Bear. It was FOUR layers of chocolate, so glad Baylor was okay!
I really wanted to have the daisies coming out of a cake pot with Oreo cookie dirt. I was bummed that the pot didn’t work but the bottom layer turned out to be plenty because it was so rich. A thick layer of chocolate buttercream and mini chocolate chips between two chocolate cakes covered in marshmallow fondant equals one rich piece of cake!
