Alaskan Winters

Description

This cake is based off a design that a customer brought to me, but of course, I put my own twist and flair to it.

This is a two tier, mountain style baby shower cake for a very outdoorsy Alaskan woman. The cake was carved, frosted and then covered in fondant. The animals and trees were cut out based on a printed silhouette and then painted with color dust. The northern lights were freehanded and then painted. The cafe currently has gorgeous photographs of some spectacular northern lights from last winter hanging, so I had some fantastic inspiration.

I'm really very pleased with this cake. I think it's nearly as pretty as the state outside (though thankfully it's not snowy just yet!)

EDIT: 16 hours after posting the above comment about no snow...it started snowing...And we were so close to October without snow! EDIT (to the edit): Fortunately the snow didn't stick, it was all melted away by the next morning. Now the weather is confused. Today I woke up and had to scrape the frost off my windows of my car before I could drive, and then it was sunny and too warm for a jacket. Hope it holds out for one more week!
