This here cake freaked me out. It’s filled & covered in buttercream. I’m so used to ganache I completely forgot how to work with buttercream & cakes!! don’t laugh!! ;)
But it all came together – a few pesky crumbs sneaked through here & there!! ugh. and I probably shouldn’t have used a vanilla extract with seeds!! as there are tiny black vanilla seeds through out it too! LOL but we learn from these things right! The fondant chevron stripes I applied using the wax paper transfer method! worked out great :)
I hand painted the offset chevrons on the plaque just to add something more to it :)
thanks for looking! kez* x

It is very pretty. Wouldn’t have guessed that you had any issues at all.

I really like this effect Keren, I’m not laughing, would be terrified! Haha! The painting on the plaque is a nice touch too.

Gorgeous. Love the colour combo

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

Wonderful chevron and color combination!
