Simply Green Cake

Until recently, I had not experienced much gum paste experience. I was a home caker who played around with gum paste but had no formal background or knowledge of making gum paste flowers. So I tackled the simplest forms of flowers or flower like shapes. I had just returned from a week long trip and had little time to make a cake for Bo. And I had bought these Juliska cake stands that I was dying to use. So I killed two birds with one stone. My small simply green cake was presented on the Juliska cake stand thus making the humbly simple cake look more special. A lot may depend on the cake but I think presentation carries a big weight as well. If I had put this cake on a plain cake board or even worse on a plastic plate, this cake would look sloppy and boring. The delicate glass stand made this tiny cake look more extordinary. If you have a great cake stand or find something special always remember that that could be the special touch that would make your cake from ordinary to extordinary. It doesn't necessarily need to be a cake stand, anything could be substituted as a cake stand so I stress again to be creative and think outside the box. Did you know that the Thirty Cake's stand is actually a piece of mirror bought from Ikea placed on top of a flower pot?
