Mad Hatter Cake

I created a Alice in Wonderland style Mad Hatter cake for a very bubbly and fun woman’s 60th Birthday. She asked for a decadent cake that would go with her Red, Black and Silver themed party. She wanted something that would depict her personality and we decided a Red Velvet Mad Hatter Cake would be perfect!

I started by making 6 red velvet cakes and realised I needed another for the base so it could hold up the rest of the cake. I could have done another Red Velvet layer but I thought that my client may like a surprise taste in the middle. I put in a ‘Confetti’ style middle for the base which I thought would set off the taste of the Icing and the Red Velvet.

Once I had constructed the mad hatter cake, it was time to decorate!

I used alternating black and white buttercream icing with fondant and Marizpan accents for the decoration. Image
