This was probably one of the most interesting and brain challenging cakes I've ever done. Thankfully some one else made the bugs and mushrooms! A friend of mine who happened to be marrying my husbands twin brother, saw a picture of this cake and asked me if I could recreate it for their wedding cake. I told her I'd do my best and here is the result! Although this was a fun cake to do, and I'm so glad I did it for Julia, I doubt I'll ever do another one without charging an arm and a leg. Friends, especially ones that marry into the family, just get special treatment :0).Another aspect that made doing this cake very different was that I was also a bridesmaid in the wedding! I literally finished the cake and then flew into my dress in time for pictures.
I made all the flowers, ferns and leaves beforehand with royal icing (a type of frosting that hardens) This made the decorating a bit more simple because I could just stick them on where I wanted them.
PS- I'm sorry about the quality of the pictures, they were taken with my cell phone.
