I must say so myself, this is a well-behaved cake - look how flat it is. Should this cake domed, I would have to cut it down to a flat surface and waste some cake.
An order by Serena for her best buddy, Flo who is into all things flowers, a true blue flora and fauna girl. :)
She give me a free hand (yippee!) to come up with the design myself but severely reminding me that the theme has to have flowers. Goddit!
First of, it's a orange buttercake which I layered into two, filled with tangy orange curd and frosted with orange buttercream.
Next up, huge sunflowers. Bright and vibrant colours. Unfortunately, it was a wet day. Humidity hung heavy in the air - a threat to these delicate sugarpaste flowers. I bought these to bed with me in airconditioned room. Worried about them all night long. **sweats**
Followed up by these.
Spread tangy orange curd and then a layer of orange buttercream. No one will complain, right?
Piped borders at the base and making the garden come alive!
Secured sugarpaste alphabets. Added more sugarpaste daisy details at the side of the cake. Well, it's coming along fine, I should think!
My girl, Susanna helped with the holey round patch. She is a great help.
Completed sunflower garden. What do you think?
