This was the first time I tried the Ikat cake design. I got a silicone mold to do the design. I had a lot of problems with it. It didn’t want to adhere to the cake . I thought I was getting the Marvelous mold but, when I got it I discovered that it was a generic. I should have payed closer attention to the description. I should have known better. 😔 This was also the first time I tried to make a peony flower. I need a lot more practice. I watched a tutorial on it, it was not as simple as it looked. I used fondant cutters for the alphabet. I’m still uncomfortable writing on a cake. 😁 The cake is a 4 layer almond/vanilla with a almond/vanilla buttercream filling covered with a homemade fondant.

It looks lovely! It doesn’t look like you had trouble with the mold. The sides look great!
