Painted panel cake

Painted Panels

This 21st birthday cake for a special young lady drew on one of her childhood loves. Highly detailed, this cake incorporated six hand painted panels, with each panel taking around four hours to create. Two out of the six panels were based on original artworks by Mandie Manzano, recreated with kind permission.
