Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare two cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
5
Divide the batter into two equal portions, and add pink food coloring to one portion. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
6
For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
7
Layer the cake layers with the cream cheese frosting. Frost the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of frosting, smoothing it out evenly.
8
Shape the fondant into a flamingo: create a long neck, head, and wings. Attach these to the top of the cake, decorating the wings with edible gold dust.
9
Decorate the cake with edible gold dust and pink sugar pearls to emphasize the flamingo motif.
10
Chill the cake for at least one hour before serving to allow the decorations to set.
