Mom's Birthday Cakes






Mom's favorite flowers are geraniums and tulips. I made her a clay pot made with carrot cake and and a pineapple flower vase. They were both adorable.




The carrot cake was covered in cream cheese frosting and mm fondant. The top is crushed oreo's, which really looked like dirt. For fun the gummy worms came a crawling.



The pineapple cake was filled with pineapple and covered with cream cheese frosting and mm fondant.




I had never made wired flowers before, but I think these turned out pretty good. Mom is saving them to show her friends at an upcoming luncheon.


























I love the geraniums. I used brown dust on the flowers, and painted the leaves. In hindsight I should have made twice as many leaves.
