Jessica's first cousin, Claire, celebrated her 2nd month birthday on Nov. 16th. Her parents had commissioned JessiCakes Project to make a cake for her each month. Claire's mom decided on the sleeping Snoopy design, which we happily obliged. This was our first square cake.
It's a 2-layered 9-inch square marble cake covered in olive green fondant. We create the cake in fall theme to depict the season. So, expect that the following cakes will show the current season. We're excited about December's cake, which is next week. It will be another cute cake just like this one.
Snoopy is made of part fondant and part gum paste. Woodstock was made of fondant. The leaves are also fondant. A funny accident happened while we were rolling the fondant to cover the cake. It was originally sort of electric or lime green in color. Then we covered the top of the chocolate crumbcoated cake, but the fondant ripped, as we did not realize it was rolled too thin. So, we massaged the chocolate with the fondant and voila-- olive green was produced! The olive green color worked better in a fall theme, so we got lucky!
Moral lesson-- sometimes, an accident happens for a reason. Luckily, this was for the right one!
