Mmmm, nothings better to me than a red velvet cake with some homemade cream cheese frosting! I created this moist red velvet cake for my family, since I felt the need to bake with out any pending orders. Subtle blue and white colors spread throughout the cake, while a few black accents catch the eye. The ribbon tie effect on the cake is one of my favorites~it seems to add more of a "gift" feeling towards it. This type of cake would be perfect for any small get together parties or non-formal events.

I began by baking my red velvet cake, and while allowing it to cool, I whipped up a large batch of my own marshmallow fondant (this stuff tastes like heaven, I must say!). Using some allergen free food dye, I began dying the fondant to my desired blue color, and began to roll it out for the cake!
~I then let my imagination break loose.~
All out of nowhere, I began to see white textured fondant ribbon wrapped over the cake, and I found myself cutting out small black and white fondant polka dots which I glued on using edible adhesive. I then sculpted out a beautiful light blue flower to top the cake with, accompanied with a long green swirling stem.
And let me tell you, this cake was DELICIOUS. My sister, of all people, who hates the taste of fondant, ate more than half of the cake, picking off little pieces of fondant here and there just to pop in her mouth. Wow!
This style of cake can be altered to fit any of your party needs- whether it be a baby shower, birthday party, or special occasion, this ribbon wrapped cake will sure be the perfect match for you.
