You can make a GORGEOUS cake with a few basic skills. For this cake I used the Smooth Frosting Technique and some Basic Cake Stacking tips.
Then I used Duff Brand Fondant for some stripes and polka dots (black is really hard to color), and Homemade Fondant for the pearls around each tier. For the topper I added sticker rhinestones to the wooden “A” I found at Michaels (or any craft store) along with a big boofy feather. Simple and cute!
