I get asked to do a lot of kids’ cakes so this was a wonderful opportunity to do a more grownup cake and try out these giftbox style cakes and the always trendy “shabby chic” style. It was for my niece’s birthday so I took free reign to do something I’d never tried before.

The flower spray on top needs a lot of work. They are meant to be fantasy flowers so not supposed to really look like any flower in particular but it pales in comparison to the work of other very talented sugar artists I’ve seen that make beautiful accent flowers. Next time I’ll try making the petals thinner but was having lots of trouble with the fondant that day.

2nd pic is of the inspiration for the colour palette. Goes to show inspiration really can come from anywhere!
