Pink and Green Zebra Fashionista Birthday Cake

Love love love all my nieces and nephews, and so it makes it a lot of fun to get to make their special cakes for them. The best part is that they usually just give me the theme and general color scheme and let me play with my creativity to make the "cake creation." While I usually have a general direction, I never know exactly how the finished product will look.
For this cake, Gracie wanted zebra stripes, with the main colors pink and green. Here's how it turned out:

Fancy Batman Wedding Cake!


What a fun time I had with this cake! It's similar to a couple of other cakes on the web, but I made the details my own. :) 
 
Top tier is vanilla cake, middle is strawberry and the bottom is lemon. All with French vanilla creme filling. Buttercream frosting, marshmallow fondant accents. I hand piped the scrolling, and did it first in navy blue, then ice blue, loved the effect. 


Hand cut the cityscape from mmf, then used yellow buttercream for the "lights." Batman is hand formed from mmf. The effect I was going for was that he was crawling out from under the flowered wedding topper. :) 




The wedding couple loved their unique cake, and it fit right in with their fun and creative wedding!
