The next cake is a variation on the same design, with the colour pink beautifully incorporated.  It’s by Sweet Things (Toront0) and also features a chevron pattern at the bottom of the cake which is so “in” in cake decorating at the moment. Wilton have included a chevron pattern in their recent collection of silicone moulds (it’s included in the “lace mould”.)  Just ask at your local cake decorating store for details.
