Birthday Cake For My Husband

July 11 was my husband's birthday.....So I decided to decorate a cake for him..... I was thinking for some nice design......





My hubby wanted a cake which has some flowers on them and then I ended up with this cake.....He loved it....



I made those blossom flowers out of fondant.....and made them dry....Then I iced the cake and piped the leaves with butter-cream icing and placed the flowers on them.....

  8. Hi Sukanya, the cake looks lovely.

    I have been baking for years now but hardly ever decorate a cake. Can you help me with a recipe for simple frosting and icing. My hubby's birthday is on friday and I would like to surprise him with a good looking cake.

  11. Thank you. I live in India and don't think I can get meringue powder here. Let me try :-)

  12. Hi Raaga....
    Meringue powder can be substituted with egg whites.......And i think Vegetable Shortening can be sutituted with our India's white butter.....
