i gave this towel as a gift to a very strong friend who faced a lot of opposition in the last year and in the coming weeks, she will have finished her project and proved them fucking wrong. i promised to bake her any cake she wanted and she wanted one themed after this towel.

it will be a classic round cake, and i will be using buttercream frosting and some black icing or dark chocolate, no fondant. i will be replacing the text with something else so no need to advise about the lettering, just the flowers.

im thinking i should pipe the black outline and then buttercream on some freezer paper to get a flat design i can press into the cake, but that would only work for the top and not the rounded sides of the cake. another option is to paint the cake with palette knives and just go for the approximate vibe with multiple shades of flowers. i would love to know what you guys think would be best. she deserves the best cake i can possibly make!
