To create this Leo medallion I used this cabinet door knob to create a mold first, but wanted the lion's expression to be softer so I played with it a bit.

To balance this quite masculine part of the cake, I thought I'd add another feminime element: brush embroidery. I thought it would also compliment the big peony and branches of willow Nicely. The willow branches are made of floral wire.

The letters are cut on Cricut and brushed with gold.
