April's 25th Birthday Cake

This is a two-tier stacked gifts cake. Vanilla cake with strawberry cheesecake mousse and fresh strawberry filling, iced with strawberry buttercream and covered with homemade strawberry fondant. I hate to say this - but it's probably the best fondant I've ever tasted!

I had made a beautiful gumpaste looped bow but on the night before it was due, our new cat found where I had hidden it and subsequently dropped it from the highest point in the house. Of course there was no time to recreate...so I had to improvise...
