How fun are ruffles?!

My sister and sister-in-law both have birthdays in May. We all got together and I made them a cake. I have wanted to try a ruffle cake for a while now and thought this was the perfect time to test it out. I decided to do it ombre as well (which means the colors grow lighter). After I made the different shades of turquoise it was pretty fast to do. I did 2 rows of each shade until it is white at the top. To make it look like a ruffle you just have to roll the fondant out extremely thin and then bunch it together when you are sticking it on the cake - easy. I think it turned out to be one of my favorite cakes that I have made.
