A fellow baker had a request for a 60's inspired baby shower cake. A gentlemen ordered the cake with instructions for two tiers, "mod" flowers and colors of deep purple, teal and orange.
My friend bakes as a paying hobby and works a full time job as a Psychologist in a mental health facility. She has been baking for clients since the mid 80's after taking a number of Wilton classes at a local craft store. She comes to visit, ask questions about orders and learn whats new in the cake world. I love having her as a friend.
As this was for a baby shower, she felt the finished cake would look nothing like a baby themed designed with the requests from the client, so I suggested putting baby items as the center of the mod flowers.
Each items was inserted on a wire and using a small daisy cutter to create the center. I then used a large 5 petal cutter and thinned the edges with a ball tool to give them a ruffle. The background of the finished cake was t o be deep purple and the mod flowers in teal were the main accent with the orange flowers as contrast.
