gum paste and a birthday party


Practice cake. buttercream frosting with gum paste flowers/flower box. Ran out of frosting and couldn't run to the store, but it still tasted great!


For my daughters 1st birthday. This cake is all whipped cream with fondant and gum paste decorations. Still need to learn how to get the fondant not to melt on the whipped cream and need to practice more with smoothing. The whipped cream was yummy though and I put strawberries and bananas in the center.
