Claude Monet Water Lily Cake

9/17/2018

In my standing tradition of fair cakes, I recreated a piece of art on a cake. This year’s masterpiece was inspired by one of Claude Monet’s water lily paintings. I had a fun time playing around with new techniques to decorate the cake, from hand painting to piping buttercream, even some fondant work.

Step 1:  Glue a 8" Styrofoam cake drum to a 1" think 8" Styrofoam circle to create the base of the cake.

Step 2:  Cover the cake base in buttercream

Step 3: Cover the cake in blue fondant that the color wasn't fully blended to create the look of water.

Step 4: Pipe on green lily pads all over the cake. Add a flower on several of the lily pads.

Step 5: Using shades of blue and green food coloring thinned with a little vodka to paint all of the blue fondant area. This made it look like a water painting.

Step 6: Using the same shades of green food coloring at a little extra color to the lily pads. Then place white fondant on a cake board and create board lines and wood grains and paint with brown food coloring thinned with a little vodka.

Step 7:  Using different sized heart shaped cookie cutters cut out green fondant to make the 3-D lily pads. The green fondants color wasn't blended fully to create the same look as the blue fondant. Attached all over the cake, making sure to cover and problem spots.

Step 8:  Using flower cookie cutters cut out white fondant and layer them and curl them up and a yellow ball of fondant and "glue" in place. To finish the cake use a little light pink food coloring thinned out and add touches to the flowers. Then repeat with a deep green color for the lily pads.

This cake is truly is a masterpiece!
