Zebra Stripes Redux

I revisited the zebra motif today for our friend Marge-- she saw the zebra striped cake we did this summer and just had to have one.  And well, I think she deserves it! She had the superb idea to do a vanilla buttercream with only the stripes in fondant. I loved how this looked. Best of both worlds, really. It's striped on the inside too since it was a marble cake-- clever, huh? She had all kinds of good ideas. This cake just makes me smile! Hope it survived the ride home, Marge!
Here's a few photos of the process and the finished product :

Maybe the cakes need their own blog!
