Zebra Present Cake

I was asked to make a zebra patterned present cake, similar to the present cake that I made in this post. Who else loves the color combination of white and black with pops of red? I'm a big fan of it...and also white and black with hot pink!


I started with an 8" square base, covered it in white fondant and added red fondant stripes.


I rolled out some black fondant and randomly made some irregularly shaped pieces with my cutter.


Started adding them to the cake.


And topped it with a red fondant bow.


Simple and pretty.

Poker Table Cake

A bride wanted to surprise her groom with a cake for the rehearsal dinner. Since he loves poker, she decided that a poker cake with "All In" and the wedding date would be a great idea (I definitely agreed).


I used a 12" hexagonal cake pan to bake the cake. I cut out fondant circles to make the chips and covered them in tiny pieces of white fondant. The one part of the cake that wasn't edible were the legs which were mini unused plant pots covered in black fondant.
