A couple of weeks ago the Vanilla Pod Bakery were commissioned to make a make a pink and yellow cake in the theme of Giffords Circus. We were handed a flyer for inspiration and their website and this is what we created.
As you can see Giffords Circus uses quite a dark colour palette so our first thoughts were to lighten this as the cake was for a child's 5th birthday and she had requested lots of pinks and yellows. So we designed few sketches for the client to approve first. On the flyer we were given there were lots of stars, dancing bears, horses and acrobats we decided to use all of these areas and design a magical cake.
Then we set to work baking and bringing the cake to life.
The cake was a vanilla sponge sandwiched with strawberry jam and buttercream, covered with pink fondant and decorated with fondant detailing. The Giffords Circus logo and message were both piped with royal icing.
