Cake Base Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. 4. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Mix until just incorporated. 5. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. 6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Fondant Decorations

1. While the cake is cooling, roll out the fondant on a surface dusted with powdered sugar. 2. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out shapes of forest animals and trees. 3. Color some portions of the fondant with food coloring as needed and add details to the animals and trees using a small paintbrush or edible markers. 4. Once the cake has cooled, apply a crumb coat of buttercream and let it set. 5. Carefully place your fondant decorations on the cake, arranging them to create a magical forest scene.
