Elegant Birthday Cake Tutorial- Cakes to Impress Her

I will start off by saying yes. I know it is not the most conventional colour for a cake ;) I can hear many peoples thoughts from here before even hitting the publish button haha! There seems to be a rule I notice in cake decorating. This rule goes along the lines of "a cake should not be green unless it's foliage from leaves or small decorations". But I think every now and again we can be cheeky, step outside that comfort zone and break a few rules. I hope you like it!
