Description
Hey! I chose Dark Owl due to how close we are to Halloween. It's my favorite!! I was instantly drawn to this image and wanted to turn it into cakey goodness.
I baked vanilla bean cake from scratch and made American buttercream and fondant (LMF).
I first hand painted the base image on rolled out black fondant. Then added the extras. The owl, skulls, bones and bees. The bees wings are gold dusted rice paper. I used a mixture of gel colors and buttercream to paint each item. The two side skulls are wafer paper.
I hope you enjoyed the progress pictures and end result.
Happy haunting!
