Daisy Cake
Here is our Daisy Cake. This is a butter cake, baked in 2 8x3 in. round pans. It is dirty iced with buttercream icing and covered with yellow fondant. We covered a scalped 12 in cake circle in the same yellow fondant to make it seem like a bonnet or hat. In advance, we had made daisies using gum paste using 3 different types of flower cookie cutters. Using a fondant scalping tool you can add the details you want to your flower. We then added a yellow ball in the center of the flower and added yellow dusting power to give it shine and dimension. We also used gum paste and tinted it green to make the leaves. We used leaf cookie cutters and used the fondant tools to add the details. Around the bottom of the cake we used tip #233 to add what looks like grass. We then measured the distance to inset small daisies in the grass around the cake. We added the largest daisies on top along with leaves and used the green grass icing to raise the level of the flowers on top. We then used gum glue on the four daisies around the outside of the cake. This cake was a big hit.
