Royal Pardon cake by Kristi Caccippio

Description

Originally I was going to use this cake for something else, but at the last minute decided to change it to this design. The cake itself is devil's food cake with chocolate mousse filling and covered in yellow American buttercream. I used piping gel and parchment paper over my laptop screen using it as a light board to "transfer" the image onto the cake (first I had to flip the image). After I transferred the design to the cake, I went over the piping gel with black buttercream. Then spread some more black buttercream on the board to cover it up. Then I added a small black bead boarder. After I took some pictures of the cake I felt like it still needed something, so I added some yellow gumpaste flowers to the top and bottom of the cake. They're not in the original design, but I feel like they really make the cake! Enjoy :)
