I made three cakes for last weekend. The first one I finished up was the Hannah Montana Guitar Cake. Then I worked on a baby shower cake (I’ll show you tomorrow) and lastly, I did this cake for my friend Amy’s daughter. Kaylee was having her 10th birthday!
She wanted a brightly colored Peace & Rainbow Sign cake and she wanted it rainbow on the inside and she wanted it wonky. So this is what I came up with. It was a great idea… but I didn’t really think it through.
You see, the fondant started to sag some after I got it put together because well, it was as huge cake. With wonky cakes, they usually have 3 layers of cake on the inside. But not this one… the whole “rainbow” inside meant it had 6 layers inside. Six layers. For each tier.
So, it was tall and heavy and… tall.
In the end, Kaylee loved it and that’s all that mattered, but next time I’ll have to plan a little better so that I don’t get the whole leaning, wrinkled, fondant sagging problem.
This is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant. I wanted these colors to really pop, so I used AmeriColor Electric Gel colors for the inside and to color the fondant!
