This sophisticated cake, accentuated with fresh flower cake decorations, was made at the request of Art of Cake NY founder Magda Kubis’s daughter for her eleventh birthday.
She wasn’t interested in “children’s” cakes anymore; she wanted something a little more grown-up.
Magda rose to the occasion, creating a fashionably minimalist two-tier cake with hand-painted detail and fresh flowers. She used a traditional, layered sponge cake and covered it with cream on a Swiss meringue.
This free tutorial includes a detailed list of materials needed and a series of easy-to-follow picture instructions. You’ll learn how to paint the fondant and artfully attach fresh flower cake decorations.
We recommend this tutorial for any level of cake decorator- especially beginners. The design is universal, quick to complete, and very easy to customize. You can change the colors, add or remove flowers, add a simple topper… The possibilities are endless.
This classic cake was a hit at the 11th birthday party and is versatile enough to elevate any special event.
Magda found so much joy in learning to craft her own custom cakes, she decided to share her knowledge and start an online cake decorating school in her native Polish language – Akademia Tortu. It is a supportive space where curious, aspiring cake decorators can get acquainted and fearlessly ask for evaluation or advice.
