In November I had the pleasure of making a birthday cake for a lady who loved to garden. Now I do not know how to garden. I can't even get tomatoes to grow. Thankfully my parents and my husband's parents bring us vegetables each year from their gardens.
Rows of royal icing lettuce, cabbage, eggplant, carrots and onions lie on top of cookie crumbs for dirt. The cake itself is vanilla butter cake with lemon buttercream. All other details are made of fondant. These are my favourite kinds of cakes to make because of all of the details. I could keep going and going and going... I took and entire day just to decorate it.
I found out a few days later that the birthday girl looked over the cake with a fine eye, noticing all of the details I had put into it. As any cake decorator would say, it is really nice when someone takes the time to look at all I've put into it. And if they don't want to cut it? An even bigger compliment!
But who wants to waste cake!
