Hydrangea Cake

From the first moment I saw the tutorial for the Hydrangea cake done by Amanda at Iambaker I knew I HAD to try this. I gathered all of the items I'd need and kept the thought in the back of my mind. Because I am insane, this last weekend I decided to try two cakes, the toasted coconut pineapple cake and this beautiful cake. She's by far more talented than I am, but I was overall pleased with how my own cake turned out.

I will not lie. I had a tough time getting the hang of the flower petals from the start. By the end of the first color I had a semi decent technique going. I've never used this tip and I've never made anything aside from flat flowers on a cake.

The texture and colors are highly appealing and I cannot believe how easy it really was; Pretty sure I iced the entire cake in about 20 minutes tops including my initial struggle with the petals.

If you'd like to try this out for yourself Amanda has a great tutorial here. She's truly an amazing artist and I plan to try out many MANY more of her ideas. Take the time to check out some of her interior designs on cakes! Who thinks of that?! She does!
