With mother’s day only a week away, I wanted to feature a cake that would make the perfect celebration cake for a beloved mother.  Now while my Mum isn’t a knitter, both my grandmothers were and I just adored this cake the minute I laid eyes on it.  I wished that they were both still around so I could share this gorgeous creation with them.  What a stunning cake from our friends over at Pink Cake Box!

The cake is covered with weaved rolled fondant to create the basket.  The balls of yarn are rice krispy treats wrapped in fondant ‘yarn’ created with the clay gun.  Finishing details include sugar knitting needles, tortoise shell glasses, scissors, and a scarf in progress.  Who says cashmere is better than fondant?!

Inside the basket is red velvet with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cake with oreos and peanut butter filling. Yum!

Ok, so we might not be able to replicate this amazing cake for mum this mother’s day, but isn’t this a stunning inspiration for your next celebration?

Happy Celebrating!
