Garden theme birthday cake

Bottom cake is two flavors, half red velvet with cheese cake flavored butter cream and almond sour cream with almond flavored butter cream, then covered in fondant. Top basket weave cake is lemon sour cream pound soaked in raspberry syrup and covered in butter cream basket weave flavored with creme bouquet. My gum paste handle broke as I was pushing it into the cake, so I had to disguise the break with a pink bow. I just didn't have time to make one from gum paste. The gloves, seed packets, garden tool, flower pot, tulip bulbs, birthday card and envelope, along with a box of Miracle-Gro (not visible from this angle) all made from fondant. Roses are gum paste as are the leaves and small flowers and butterfly. Lilies are made from royal icing. Dirt is ground up Oreo cookies without the icing. Fed well over 125 people. Thanks for looking. I did post another angle showing the other side of the cake under garden theme

Comment by tracy m denny on October 10, 2011 at 11:23pm: I guess you just have to take the plunge.....I'm going to learn to work with fondant first.. never did that before. it's a littlte scary too...LOL

Comment by Linda Wolff on October 10, 2011 at 10:58pm: Thank you Tracy. It really isn't as hard as I thought it would be. It just takes some time to prepare and let things dry, but when it came to actually making the cake, and placing all of the stuff on it, it didn't take that long to assemble.

As far as sculpting...I think I must have that same fear. I've never done it!

Comment by tracy m denny on October 10, 2011 at 10:32pm: can anyone tell me how to get over the fear to cut into a cake to sculpt it?? having a tough time just getting started.
