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.
