Stargazer Lily

Recently my brother's girlfriend Kirsten had her 25th birthday. I was excited to be able to make a cake for her and whip out my skills. I knew that her favorite flower was a stargazer lily, so of course I wanted to attempt to make one. But when my mom asked her what kind of cake she might like, she said, "I don't like chocolate, and I want a unicorn cake!" Hah, yes, she's a strange one. Since I wanted a fancy cake, and well, she wanted a unicorn, I compromised and found a way to incorporate the lily AND the unicorn. I came up with the idea to make a funfetti cake with lemon filling, stencil a unicorn on top, cover it with fondant, and then put the gumpaste lily on top. However, I ran out of time to make the fondant so I just slapped the lily on top (a little ghetto I know). BUT, I thought the flower came out nicely. I was going to make it all yellow but decided to tint in a little orange as well, so it kind of looks like a tiger lily, but whatevs! I was still proud. Enjoy!

The last two look almost identical but I couldn't choose. See the hidden unicorn?! :)
