Pretty in Purple – Floral Themed Baby Shower Cake

A friend of the family recently asked me to make a cake for her baby shower. I took my inspiration from the baby’s nursery and used purple and white as the colour scheme for the cake. I decorated the cake with cascading gum paste flowers and butterflies to give the cake a modern and girly feel.

If you are curious about what’s underneath all that fondant and gum paste, I’ve listed recipe links for the cake and buttercream below.
