Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Mix the butter and sugar together untill creamy.
Step 2
Add in the eggs and mix until combined.
Step 3
Add in the flour and mix. Add the lemon essence and give the mixture one last mix.
Step 4
Put mixture evenly into cake cases, usually a third of the case will be fine, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown or until a skewer comes out clean.
Step 5
Once cooked, rest cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool.
Step 6
Make your buttercream icing by mixing the butter and sifted icing sugar together until combined. Add in the lemon curd and mix.
Step 7
For the fondant icing flowers, knead and roll out your desired colour of fondant and cut with flower cutters. Place on a sheet of grease proof paper so they don't stick. To get the circle shaped toppers, I use the rim of a small glass and press down to get the shape. Once you have all the shapes you need its time to decorate.
Step 8
Place a spoonfull of the lemon icing on top of each cake. Then put your circle fondant on top and mould with your fingers so they fit. Place a small amount of edible glue on the back of each flower and place onto the fondant until stuck in place.
