This was a birthday cake for Jessie, she does horse vaulting. Which is basically gymnastics on the back of a horse. Jessie's little brother, David, helped me with this cake. He has a real passion for cooking and his mom asked if he could help. It was fun to watch him take such time and pay such attention to the smallest details. He did a great job!
For the base of the cake i decided to print out pictures of Jessie in action and wrapped them around the cake. It turned out fun!
The letters for the name and number are cut out of a gumpaste/fondant mix and then dusted with edible glitter. 
The girl on top is gumpaste. Unfortunately i didn't have the courage to attempt the horse out of gumpaste too, but i figured it could double as a birthday gift! 
David also said his sister likes flowers. He said "She loves horses and flowers." So i suggested we make flowers to put on the cake but he didn't want them 3D. She likes to draw them in black and white. So i drew some flowers with royal icing on the side of the cake.
