Magnolia Magic

This cake was also for a Planet Cake course; a 2 tier square cake, with wavering bands, bamboo sticks and a beautiful big Magnolia flower.

This was a chocolate mud cake, covered in fondant. The bamboo and magnolia are handmade from sugar paste, and hand painted. The tortured willow is handmade with wire and florist tape (the only thing on the cake not edible), but is a good substitute for the organic sort that is not always food grade.
