Believe it or not, this cake was for a boy. It was a joke of sorts; we had a “Man Bridal Shower” for him, and decided to make it a very feminine affair. The mirrored “L” topper was purchased at McCall’s in Etobicoke.

Both tiers of this cake are vanilla, with a mocha cream filling. It is iced in vanilla buttercream and covered in white fondant, with purple fondant “ribbon”, and purple and white fondant heart accents. The small purple hearts which adorn the white fondant are hand-painted. Manly!

The cake istelf is vanilla with a lemon butter filling. It is iced in buttercream and covered in white fondant. The accents are royal icing, and all flowers and leaves are made from gumpaste.
