Mother's Day Cake

For the love of mothers, literally. We slaved over this cake for what seemed like forever and a half. This cake is a lot bigger than it looks - it was about eight inches tall and nine inches in diameter. The filling was pineapple custard (at the request of the client; NOT my favorite...) with a yellow cake.

All of the flowers of the cake were made with gum paste. The daisies have yellow sugar in the middle and the cute little flowers have edible pearls. The lettering was hand piped with royal icing. :D
