Tomorrow is Easter, and that means two things: 1) Jesus is risen from the dead, and 2) it's Spring.

In the American Christian tradition, Easter usually brings some kind of roast, usually a ham, and there is almost always some kind of baking, often cake. This year, I thought I'd try my hand at handling fondant (a.k.a. sugar paste). It was rough; there was one causalty, but I managed to save the cake.

The obvious theme would have been some kind of religious thing, but I'm not really into that as far as artistic expression. So I went with a Spring Festival theme, hence the gerber daisy. Also common to Spring is Kite Season, which is now in full swing. So the cake pulls both of those together into one, the flower representing Spring and the clouds representing Kites.

And now, without further ado:

   

Oh, and there's an Italian Cream Cake underneath all that.
