Littlie joined Girls Scouts this year. For her troops graduation we were put in charge of making the cake. I had so, so much fun with this cake!!! It was hard to pin down one idea. Yes there were things that went wrong, but it still turned out so cute!
Do you see Littlie's caterpillar in the back!!
We made the bugs from marzipan, it was tricky. I did not let it rest overnight like I was supposed too - oops! This would have helped a great deal in having these critters form correctly!
These are sugar daisies I bought from the bakery. They have all different colors and sizes!
For the bigger daisies I bought a fun new toy!
I used a wire mesh sieve to make the lines on the daisy centers, then
used watered down colors to make the shading.
The end result! I had planned on the little swirl being a sort of sign post. I wanted to insert a little paper with the troops number printed on it to be the topper. But my swirl post broke in half and this was all that was left. It all worked out - now I just know to be more prepared with the marzipan!!
