Hippie Style Birthday Cake

I would like to start by saying that this Hippie Style birthday cake was a very special cake for me. I wanted it to be absolutely perfect, well as close as I could get to it. The lady that inspired me the most is Debbie Brown, I have all her books, she is absolutely amazing at what she does. I was looking for a special cake for my daughter as she only turns 13 once. I came across a wedding cake that was in a hippy style as my daughter was having a hippy party.

So I began making a devils food cake. 12″ round x 2, 9″ round x 2 , 6″ x 2′. Once these were baked and cooled I began to sandwich layers together using milk chocolate ganache. Once this was achieved I covered the cakes in ganache prior to fondant going on. Once covered with fondant I proceeded to add embellishments that I had made prior to baking but that being said wish I had left some fondant in necessary colors that would have been more pliable going up and over the cake.

The guests all enjoyed the cake and commented on how good it was. To them I say thank you. And to Debbie Brown I say thank you for sharing your expertise from the other side of the globe through your books. Hope I have done your design proud.
