Whimsical Garden Cake

Make a delicious and beautiful Whimsical Garden Cake to celebrate Spring!! (or the lack of it here in NJ LOL)

I made this cake for my mother in law this past weekend...she loves gardening, flowers and we celebrated her bday!♥

Your need:


♥ A birthday cake (I made a vanilla shortcake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream)
♥ Decorated sugar cookies (1 dozen mini cookies aprox.)
♥ Fondant
♥ Edible Markers
♥ Disco Dust {Lots!}

What to do:


♥ Ice your mini sugar cookies with flowers, mushrooms, clouds, butterflies...etc.
♥ Add Disco Dust to as many mini cookies as you want! (as you can see I almost did it in all of them!)
♥ Ice your cake with your homemade buttercream recipe. Let set for at least 30 minutes inside the fridge.
♥ Decorate your cake placing the decorated cookies (when they are compatibly dried) around the cake as you go!
♥ Add personalization with a little fondant, using edible markers. I made some mini flowers and a mini banner, as you can see I wrote my mother in law's name on it :) and done!
♥ You can place the cake back into the fridge until you're ready to share it!
