Purple Orchid Cake

You can't tell from the picture, but this cake was a monster and weighed more than me!  (I WISH!)  It's an 18", 15" and 12" cake stacked.  Right before the cake had to be done, I realized I didn't have enough Satin Ice fondant to cover the entire thing.  So, with a 40% coupon in hand, I ran to Michael's and bought Wilton's pre-made boxed fondant.  Boy was I wrong to do that.  Never, ever, will I buy that stuff again!  Anyway, even with the fondant disaster and some cracking fondant, the cake came out beautiful.  The hand painted orchids and simple branches added elegance to it.  Now, if only it weren't so heavy...

I just love, love, love this cake!  This is actually my first ever topsy turvy cake without using styrofoam!  Yay me!

The cake consists of a 12", 10" and 8" stacked on top of each other and cut to look 'turvy'.  To create that effect, I slanted the top of each cake, then cut out a hole where the next layer would fit.  Confusing, I know...

The colors and theme are amazing.  Hot pink and black.  Skulls and polka dots.  Crowns and zebra!  What else could you ask for?!
