25th Anniversary Cake

I had the joy a making this elegant cake for a friend whose parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.  My friend Julie was throwing a small bash for family and had been loving some white fondant and metallic silver combinations.  We came up with this cake.



The cake was covered in a homemade fondant.  The metallic silver bow was a gum paste/ fondant mixture rolled out, shaped, and airbrushed with a metallic food coloring.  The 25 on top and silver ribbon around the base are thick cuts of rolled fondant, sprayed silver.

The date was painted by hand onto a rectangular piece of fondant and attached to the cake with clear piping gel.


I am so pleased with how the fondant turned out on this cake.  I was able to try some new techniques and am so happy with the final result.
