I have been waiting for an excuse to make a cherry blossom inspired cake and FINALLY! This order was last minute and the spectrum of decoration was completely left to me. (Customer - "Do whatever, nothing too fancy." - YES!) So I thought I would try a few things. This was the first cake I covered in buttercream to attempt to do in smooth finish instead of marshmallow fondant. I think it turned out great! I do need much more practise but I am happy with the results. The stems were made from modelling chocolate and I really REALLY like using it. It is like fondant but hardens much quicker. I am going to start working with it to make flowers again. The flowers are fondant with sugar pearls as centers. I will definitely use this motif again, I love the way it turned out.
Cake Details:
- Cake was a classic white/vanilla cake
- Filling was lemon buttercream
- Covered with classic buttercream
- Embellishments are modelling chocolate (stems) marshmallow fondant (flowers)
