Cherry Blossom Cake

This past weekend I went for a one on one cake lesson with Dusty for DoCakes (the same person who taught the Topsy Turvy class from a few months ago.) I wanted to practice covering square cakes with fondant as well as learn a new way to make cherry blossom branches.

The class was great as I learned quite a few new tricks with fondant. I also learned that when they say a fondant is transparent, it really is - you can see the cake right through it!

Each cherry blossom is individually wired which makes it very easy to position them accordingly on the cake.

The cake got a little "smashed" up in transport. But practice makes perfect and every cake from now until September will be square!
