Bridal Shower Daisies

We had a fun bridal shower for a cute co-worker last week, and since I had some time open I volunteered to make the cake! I learned through the grapevine that her colors were orange and brown - and this was what I came up with. I considered doing a handbag or a shoe box or something like that, but since things at work have been a little stressful lately, I thought some cheery flowers and a good chocolate cake would be more appropriate. The cake was chocolate with chocolate buttercream filling and icing, and the brown fondant is chocolate fondant - it definitely hit the chocolate spot on a Friday afternoon! I was pretty happy with how all the daisies turned out - though next time I think I'll go with gum paste instead of fondant for flowers of that size (on the top). I got some great compliments on the decoration and the cake itself - which is always great! The most important thing was that Ashley (the bride to be) seemed to like it - and since the whole wedding ordeal is really about the babe in the dress, that was enough for me. Congratulations, Ashley!
