Fairy Flower Blossom Cake Tutorial

I've spent a lot of years living with little princesses and fairies.  I guess it comes with the territory of being a mama of three girls for the past 24 years!  
This is a tutorial of a cake that I made when my youngest little fairy princess was little and when her world revolved around Tinker Bell.  

Materials Needed:
1 9-inch Cake Layer (any flavor)
2 8-inch Cake Layers (any flavor)
1 batch of your Favorite Frosting
2 boxes of Rolled Fondant
Green paste Food Coloring
Violet paste Food Coloring
White Sparkling Sugar
Decorative Candle or Toy
Cake plate, stand or board
Frosting Spatulas/Spreaders
Heart-shaped Cookie Cutter


First start with one 9-inch cake layer.
Put it on your cake plate or board to decorate.

Frost the cake with your favorite frosting.
Not all people like the taste of fondant, so it is nice to have a tasty frosting for those who just peel it off.

Knead the store-bought rolled fondant in powdered sugar to make pliable.
Knead in green paste food coloring.

Roll the fondant out with a rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness.

Lay fondant over cake layer; smooth with hands; trim excess.

Add one 8-inch cake layer; frost.
Add second 8-inch cake layer; frost.

Color the other box of the fondant violet.
Roll out; cover cake layers; smooth and trim.

Cut "petal" shapes from the violet fondant.
Adhere to the side of the cake with a little water.
Overlap the petals; curl tips back.

Cut the "leaves" out of green fondant with heart cookie cutter.
Adhere to the bottom of the blossom.

Make vines the way that you would make a play-doh snake.
Place them in a random wiggly pattern up the blossom.

Using a pastry brush, wet the fondant with water.
Place your candle or toy in the center of the blossom.
Sprinkle with Sparkling Sugar for whimsy.
