I made this two tiered birthday cake and decorated the the whole thing with fondant. I really enjoy marbling fondant so I chose to marble a teal and a blue color together. It was for a young girl so I wanted to make funky yet beautiful, so I chose to make the bow and dots in a bright pink.
The flowers were make by cutting daisy flowers out of fondant using a cutter. I then used fondant tools to gently press in the center of the petals to give them so shape and texture. The flowers were then dried in small rounded cups to give them their curl. Everything is adhered to the cake using a simple "edible glue" made by combining piping gel and water. You apply it was a food safe paint brush and then attach your pieces.
Make sure that if you are going to make a tiered cake that the top tier is on an appropriately sized cake board. You need to place dowels cut to the right length in the bottom tier too. I like to use 4 to make a square and then place an addition dowel in the center of that square. This will provide good support for the top tier. You may even want to drive a long dowel (with the tip sharpened) through both tiers. Tiered cakes can get really heavy so support is very important even for a smaller cake.
