Recital Cake

I made a recital cake for my friend Temalas Senior Vocal Recital. This is the cake I came up with.

The bottom tier was a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache frosting and sprinkled with raspberries for some flavor other than chocolate. The top tier was a lemon cake with a raspberry danish dessert in the middle and plain buttercream frosting. I was pretty excited about the way it turned out. All the designs besides the leaf had to be hand cut because I couldn't find a flower petal to save my life. The bow was alot of work for something that just got thrown away right away but that's ok because it added the finishing touch to the cake that it needed. To get the black that black I painted the fondant with black gel food coloring. I really enjoy this cake making thing and I can't wait to try a five tier wedding cake. I would like to make it square but I would have to buy all new pans. If I make it circular than I only have to by the two larger pans.
