I started this Garden Lover’s birthday cake with a 1/2 sheet cake and cut it in half and iced it with butter cream icing. I used 2 muffin tins to make the flower pots and iced them. I bought 2 candy flower roses on clearance at a cake decorating store and used those on top of the flower pots.
I made the dirt in the flower pots out of the same things I made the dirt road and garden dirt out of, crushed some Oreos and mixed them with brown sugar to make. I used a basket weave tip to make the fence around the bottom of the cake and then used various size tips to make the flowers and a leaf tip to make the vines. I took cardboard and folded it to make the bench and the little gazebo. I piped a pair of gloves and a spade beside a sign that read “Maw-Maw’s garden” that I made out of a Popsicle stick and an index card that I cut with my scrap booking scissors.
This cake was made for a friend’s mama who is suffering with Alzheimer’s disease but really loves her garden and kinda uses that as her safe place. My friend said she was absolutely thrilled with her cake.
Awesome, wish I could see more of the cake. Very nice job.
