How To Create A Mariposa Lily Cake.

Check out this unique site that explains all things related to designing amazing pies.

Sydney saw Alan Dunn's Mariposa Lily cake and liked the look; so I created my version of this peaceful spray to adorn the top of a fabric billow weave cake. Mariposa (or "butterfly") in Spanish are peaceful beautifully colored flowers that can thrive in harsh environments despite their delicate appearance. Although there are 67 species of mariposa lilies most are found in California. I decided to add Bougainvillea, Asian orchids, and an array of foliage along with strategically placed sugar paste Rhodochrosite rocks. The board is a Unity mold (Make your Own Molds). Finally the bottom layer is covered with 50/50 paste of billow weave.
