Mackenna's 5th Birthday Cake

When I was asked to make a cake that looked like a Carousel, my first reaction is SURE!
Building a carousel out of fondant or gum paste didn't really go as I had planned, so here is how the second try went.


I liked the sun coming through in this photo.






This photo is a closer view of the cake. The carousel is created out of thin wood that I covered in hand crafted paper with silver dot accents. The wood dowels are swirled with ribbon and the top is made out of shiny yellow card stock.


There are quite a few small imperfections, but over all with the size of this cake and the amount of fondant it took to cover it... it turned out well.
