Dancing in the Fountain

This cake was definitely our biggest challenge yet, but one that we thoroughly enjoyed!  The cake was to celebrate my friend Karen McCann's book, called Dancing  in the Fountain. Initially we were going to just make the book cover, but when she sent us more pictures of the fountain where the cover was shot, we both agreed that we really wanted to make the whole fountain! EVERYTHING is edible, including the shoes and the flower pot. The cake is Devil's Food Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream Filling and Coconut Marshmallow Fondant. It was for 30 people. €200









Here'a a link to Karen's book:
