Pink elephant cake

My little friend, Isabella, turned 4 years on Friday and naturally that called for a cake.

I have a vague recollection of her requesting a "princess-cake", but I don't remember how we ended up with a pink elephant cake...... Isabella didn't seem to mind :-)

The cake was a layered cake and consisted of white almond cake, lemon syrup and strawberry mousse.

The fondant proved to be a bit of a challenge, as I couldn't get hold of any Wilson fondant and the replacement sugar past was way too soft (though it did taste better).
