dragonfly cake



OK THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST CAKES I HAVE HAD TO DO BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE ......NO BLING..........NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME AND MY CAKES, THAT'S WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT . BLING, BLING AND MORE BLING....
SO TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A WOMAN WITH NO BLING WAS JUST BEYOND ME. AND HER FAVORITE COLOR IS OLIVE GREEN, SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS COLOR OF ICING.




IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THE DRAGONFLY NESTLED IN THE GREENERY


I ALSO USED A NEW ICING TEXTURE TECHNIQUE. NOT A BIG FAN OF THIS CAKE. BUT I THINK ITS RIGHT FOR THE PERSON THAT IT IS FOR....the cake is baileys Irish cream with home made bailey Irish icing
