Pansie Wedding Cake




I am practising baking and decorating a cake for my friend's wedding. I thought of using some flowers for the cake.






Pansies are the edible flower and great decorations for salads. They have a cute perfect size come in variety of colours. They are easy to grow and taste great. I grow some in my garden.










I know garnishing a dish with fresh flowers might intimidate people. People tend to leave them alone like parsley. But on this cake I thought, it does add colour and visual appeal to it.












The Pansies are derived from Viola species which is a large group of hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. They are actually biennial which takes 2 years to complete its biological lifecycle.








This pot was handpainted by me. I sell those to those who find them beautiful.
Yes , not for sale for those who find it otherwise.

    Thank you Mary. It is fondant. I rolled it flat and ran the back of a brush front and back to make the ruffles.
