A lemon cake with my secret lemon filling, bright and tangy all the way through. A cactus cake fit for a true desert girl! I handmade all the fondant cactus details, using a few of my favorite Wilton tools to get those clean shapes and textures. A little graham‑cracker dirt, a layered sunset background, and a touch of luster dust for that pearly shine on certain elements make the whole design pop. This cake is truly striking to look at, sweet and Southwest all at once.
