I started this project as a different design. The design although looked to much as a wedding cake so, I decided to change it. I found this design online, and was going to use it for at my nana's christmas party. But I changed the colors to her favorite and bright colors. Now it looks like a birthday present instead of a christmas gift. Her birthday is in october so I added the pumpkins. This is a one layered marble cake covered in marshmallow fondant. This cake was interesting because nothing seem to work. The cake was very moist and while I was doing the crumb covering with buttercream frosting the cake kept falling apart. The bow was made with the fondant, the pieces were placed on their sides with tissue paper in the loop part, and left overnight. Also the swirls were left overnight to hold their shape. To get this shape I rolled the fondant into long "worm shapes" and then twisted onto pencils and pens. I also put toothpicks in one end to help to put into the cake. The funny thing was that my cat had taken all my pencils and pens and hidden them somewheres. So I had to call Andrea to borrow hers, but she had no idea why I needed all those pencils.
