Mother's Day Cake for Mom
Side view of Mom's cake
Mother’s Day has come and gone, and with it, this yummy cake that I made for my mom. This was a yellow cake, frosted with vanilla buttercream (the best batch of Italian Meringue Buttercream that I have made, in my opinion) and filled with mocha buttercream. It is sitting on an embossed, fondant-covered board (apparently I loved that technique!) and is decorated with royal icing leaves, roses, drop flowers, daffodils, pansies, an apple blossom or two and one chrysanthemum. The border is reverse shells, although in some spots it doesn’t look very reverse-y. My one regret is that the word “Mom” is crooked!! I must have had the cake crooked on the turntable when I wrote it. D’oh. Oh well, my mommy loves me anyway, haha.
