Top Hat Cake

I have been wanting to try out some new techniques so I decided to make another display cake for the Farmer’s Market. I had always wanted to try doing a fondant overlay so that’s what I did. I covered around cake dummy in pale pink fondant and let it harden. Then I covered in another layer of chocolate fondant letting the fondant cover the cake base as well to look kind of like a hat. While the chocolate fondant was still soft I used small cutters to cut out the chocolate fondant letting the pink fondant peak through. A laser level came in handy to make sure I made the design straight. I finished it off with a pretty ribbon and bow with a criss-cross design from a textured rolling pin. I topped it off with a patchwork daisy also in the pale pink color.
