I was asked to make a cake for a member of staff finishing up at O' Sullivan's Pharmacy in Grange. With all the necessary ingredients and tools at the ready, I decided to attempt a fondant icing covered cake, and experimented with making the pharmacy logo from fondant.
For this cake, I decided on a vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream. The recipe I used included greek yoghurt. After mistakenly picking up gooseberry flavoured yoghurt, at attempt two I chose to use natural yoghurt instead. The sponge was incredibly light and tasty and seems like a good base sponge to add other flavours to in the future such as honey. I cut three thin layers of sponge, filling with vanilla buttercream in between. After covering the cake in white rolled fondant, I used alphabet cutters with some purple fondant for the message and finished off the cake with the fondant logo.
