Mother's Day

This was supposed to be a jewelry box cake.  I think it looks more like a hatbox.  Talk amongst yourselves...

The client wanted all types of flowers and pearls.  The theme was 'Momma, you are my pearl'.  I made a mixture of gumpaste, fondant, and buttercream flowers.

I learn something on every cake.  If I were to do this one again, I would have made the lid separate instead of the illusion of being open.  I could have put a lot more flowers inside.  I hadn't made buttercream roses in quite some time, so I actually made 20-30 of them before getting back into it!  It's a rare occasion when I make traditional flowers!

I hope all the mother's had a wonderful, blessed day!
