How to Make a Two Tier Sunflower Wedding Cake

Ingredients for the Wedding Cake

If you’re looking to make a two-tier sunflower wedding cake, you’ll need some basic baking ingredients. This includes two boxes of cake mix, two round pans, buttercream frosting, and fondant. You’ll also need food coloring and a few other items to decorate the cake. For best results, use a box mix that is made for two-tier cakes.

Baking and Assembling the Cake

Begin by preheating the oven to the temperature suggested on the cake mix box. Grease the round pans and pour the cake mix into each pan. Bake the cakes for the amount of time suggested on the box. Once the cakes have finished baking, let them cool completely before attempting to assemble the cake.

To assemble the cake, place one cake on a cake stand. Spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting over the cake and stack the other cake on top. You may need to use a cake board between the two layers for support. Using the remaining buttercream frosting, cover the entire cake.

Decorating the Cake

To decorate the cake, begin by rolling out the fondant and cutting it into shapes to resemble sunflowers. Color the fondant with yellow and green food coloring to mimic the look of a sunflower. Place the fondant flowers around the cake. Use a variety of colors and shapes to create a beautiful design.

Finishing Touches

To give the cake a finished look, you can pipe frosting around the edges of the cake. You can also make a rope-like border around the sides of the cake. Finally, add a few edible flowers to the top of the cake to complete the look.
