A few weeks ago a good friend asked me if I would make her a cake for her 30th birthday and told me that the theme if the party was going to be a Mad Hatter's Tea Party. She gave me a couple ideas that she had and I did some sketches and yesterday I got to work.....
The cake itself was alternating layers of chocolate fudge and almond cake with buttercream frosting. The original plan was 4 layers but when I stacked the cake 4 wasn't tall enough so 6 it was!
Then after chilling and a bit of sculpting the cake went into the fridge while I made some of the decorative elements.
After good coating of buttercream it was time for the fondant....
Then some embossing, petal dust and things are starting to come together!
The hat band and patch went on next...
And for the final touch some roses that were painted red!
Taking the cake to the party was a bit nerve wracking, luckily it was a short drive with a great driver. :)
And the cake looked great when it got there and the birthday girl was very happy!
