This cake is a white cake but colored pink inside and covered with buttercream and decorated with fondant. I used alot of the same techniques for this cake as I did with the doggie cake. I made the three the same way but using different colors. The bunny didn't turn out exactly like I wanted but it was very difficult giving him the stuffed animal look that I was going for. I wanted him to look like he was slouching and kind of lifeless in a way, like a stuffed animal. The flowers were cut out using two different size daisy cutters and colors and stacked on each other to give a more 3D effect.
To make the bunny, I colored the fondant pink. I started with the base of the body, I used a big chunk of fondant to give it a good base. The head came next, I poked two holes for the eyes then rolled some chocolate fondant into tiny balls for the eyes. I rolled a little piece of white fondant for the nose. For all the limbs, I rolled four equal size balls of fondant, and sculpted them into the shaped they were to be. To finish, I cut out a little heart for his belly and gave him some ears.
This weekend was alittle less stressful than the last, which was a nice break. I started off just doing a small cake with no fancy decorations:
To me, it looked like it came from a bakery... I guess thats a good thing... I dunno. I wanted to practice my buttercream skills since they are a weakness of mine. I liked the ridges I gave to the sides of the cake , its still a new technique for me.
Thats all for now.... This week I have a dance themed cake coming up! I'm really excited about this one. As far as I know, this is the only one this week, so hopefully we have nice weather out and I can take a break and get away from the powdered sugar cloud for a day!
