Preparing the Surprise Wedding Cake

It all began with a cake, some buttercream frosting, a wonderful homemade recipe for fondant and a rolling pin with a cornstarch duster. We rolled the fondant flat and cut out small flower shapes. After forming a teardrop on a toothpick, we added the flower shape.

We then began pinching to form our rose petals around the central bud.After removing the flower from the toothpick, we set each aside to dry.We covered our cakes with frosting and then fondant; we formed a bow from fondant, supporting it with plastic wrap until it dried. We added frosting embellishments to anchor the cake and give it a finished look.The cake topper finished the upper layer. We secured the bottom layer to the top with the pillars and platform.

The final product on February 14. Surprise!!!
