A co-worker requested a chemistry themed cake for his wife who also works in the department. I struggled a bit to come up with an idea as I did a chemistry one for her last year too & she has seen my other chem ones & I didn’t want to repeat something she has already seen.

Part of me wonders if she really wants a chemistry themed cake or if he requests that theme more for their 3 kids….. What I came up with was a cake shaped like an Erlenmeyer flask & then I added the flowers to make it more girlie for her. The ranunculus are my new favorite to make after doing them last week. I made the bottom of the flask pink using luster dust.

It took me three attempts but I was able to get the fondant on by draping it. I really didn’t want a seam so was hoping to avoid barrel wrapping it.
