This cake was made for a co-worker's wife who loves almond paste.  Instead of using expensive almond paste, I flavored the fondant with almond flavoring.  Buttercream icing was used as filling and frosting.  I placed a layer of almond flavored fondant on top of the filling.  I covered the cake with almond flavored white chocolate marshmallow fondant.  The flowers and leaves were made from the same fondant.  A blue organza fabric ribbon adorned the base.
