Hogan's Sweet Art: Yoga Mat Cake

Yoga Mat Cake

This gluten and dairy free cake was done for a gal turning 60 who's into yoga and Buddhism (hence the yoga mat and lotus flower.. And she's seated in the lotus position ).. I don't do a lot of flowers but I was kinda proud of this one.

The cake was 3 stacked 9 X 13 spice cakes filled with salted caramel buttercream. I carved them into the mat shape and used fondant to create the look of a mat. The board is fondant using a wood floor effect that I love! The lotus flower was made with individually crafted gum paste leaves - a lot of work but I was happy with the final outcome.

About Me

I am a cake artist living in Abbotsford, British Columbia. While not my main profession, art in many forms has been my sideline for most of my life. I studied at Emily Carr College of Art & Design and have a Master's in Design. I tried my hand at cake art (and cake toppers) a few years ago and was hooked! For now, I've put down the paint brushes and locked up the kiln, and work in gum paste and fondant to create unique, special occasion toppers and cakes. With every new creation, I'm experimenting with new techniques that I plan to share here in photos and (if asked) tutorials! Thanks for visiting my blog!
