Owl Nursery Themed Cake

I made this cake based off of pictures in the mom's nursery. The colors in the room were green and pink and the owls, trees, flowers, and polka dotted letters were all items located around the room. I made a 2 rectangular pound cakes, put one full one on the bottom and cut the second one into the two upper layers.

I iced each layer with cream cheese frosting and then covered them in green and pink colored fondant/modeling chocolate combination. I found that by combining the home made modeling chocolate with the homemade fondant, I not only got a much better taste but also something much easier to work with. The bows, figures, letters, etc. were also created with this combo.

I used toothpicks to secure figures such as the flower to the cake and used a water/fondant combo to work as a glue. It all worked very well and in the end I was very pleased with the outcome.
