Neapolitan Birthday Cake!

I made a small batch of regular Marshmallow fondant, colored it, and added in tylose powder to help the decorations hold their shape a little better. 2 sticks of softened butter. Where every good frosting starts... I made 3 different frostings to correspond to the flavors of the cakes. For the strawberry buttercream I added in about 1/4 cup reduced strawberry puree. It smelled like mayfield strawberry ice cream and tasted delicious! ...
