Alice in Wonderland Cake

 This cake was a request by a YouTube fan, Byron Chandler. Thanks for the request!

So, I started with an 8-inch cake dummy frosted with vegan American buttercream. Then I rolled out a snake of white fondant.

I rolled it into a strip and used a pointed sculpting tool to make a ruffled edge.

Then I rolled out some blue fondant, measured it, and used a large bowl as a template to cut out a large circle.

Then I laid it on the cake, leaving a little peak of the ruffles underneath. Just like Alice's dress.

Then I got out some pink and purple fondant.

And I rolled them into snakes and cut them the same length.

And I rolled them out like one piece of fondant.

And I covered a 6-inch cake dummy with it.

I trimmed it to size.

And stacked this tier on top of the other tier.

Then I cut a strip of white fondant and wrapped it around the top tier.

And I made a large fondant bow and placed it on one side of the cake.

I also rolled out a circle of white fondant, and used the back side of circle cutters to add circles to it. And I pressed a tool against the side to create a crinkled texture of the saucer.

And I placed it on top of the cake.

Then I made a teacup.

Complete with bottom and handle.

And I placed it on top of the cake. I know it's a touch wonky, but that seemed to go with the Alice in Wonderland theme.

Then I rolled out some rectangles of white fondant.

I used this flower cutter.

Cut them in half.

And formed them into a crosses or clubs.

I also made some 2's, 3's and A's using a fondant press form. And I placed them onto the rectangles to create cards.

Then I painted the markings with black food coloring.

And I placed them on the cake.

I cut out a large circle out of yellow fondant and covered it with a white circle. Then I made these rings using round piping tips of two different sizes.

I laid the rings along one side of the watch and cut some rings in half to create the links. Then I painted a watch face with black food coloring.

I also painted the teacup with pink, purple and green as well as gold on the edges.

And I made a door knob complete with a keyhole and black eyes.

Finally, I made a red rose.

I love all the elements of Alice on this cake. The teacup, the playing cards, the rose, the bow, the watch, the stripes, the ruffles, and the door knob.
