Rothko Cake












This is a surprize birthday cake for one of our visiting teaching girls. Her husband wanted a special cake just for her. She loves the artist Rothko and calla lillies. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate hazelnut icing with toffe crumbs. We made gumpaste canvases and painted them with full strength wilton coloring gels. Each canvas was a different Rothko painting. We made the calla lillies out of gumpaste. Edna's videos were the best tutorials on how to make them. We would have put more flowers on but we were planning on using a smaller cake when we made the flowers. This is our first for profit cake. It went really smothly and the painting was so much fun.
