Flamingo / Tropical cakes are always popular. I usually get at least one a year. Here is 2024's offering. The cake was for two little girls that were sharing a cake & party. I wasn't sure how to arrange the names on the cake, so I took pictures of three different versions and let the customer decide.
So version 1 - without the names:
Version 2:
And Version 3:
I think I like Version 2 the best, but the customer wanted Version 3.
And here are different views of the cake...

Beautiful work! What fondant are you using?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I use Wilton fondant for all the decorations. I mix the fondant with CMC powder so the fondant dries rock hard.
DeleteThank for replying! Do you use wilton to cover your cakes aswell? Do you have a newest “fondant comparison” post?
ReplyDeleteI don't get requests for fondant covered cakes very often, but when I do I just use Wilton. I tell everyone to just remove the fondant before cutting the cake. LOL
DeleteI don't do the fondant comparisons anymore because every time I found a fondant that I really liked it was discontinued after a few years. It was so frustrating that I gave up trying to find something better than Wilton. Seems like the only other fondant option is Satin Ice, and I never liked working with that brand.
I used to make cakes, I liked fondarific but it is discontinued now. I don’t like Satin Ice either. I used some wilton, good to work with but the taste is not good. I want to go back to cake decorating I am doing some research on fondant. I liked Saracino but too expensive. Thanks for taking your time to reply back.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the only two big players left to choose from are Wilton and Satin Ice. Not much of a choice.
DeleteCould you please relink your Almost Swiss Cake. The link doesn’t work
