This week I had a pretty neat design to work on....the customer pretty much designed this herself, as far as the idea. Then I just had to make what was in her head come alive as cake!
The "Birthday Boy" was a tap dancer, and evidently played the drums as well. She also wanted the look of the shoes walking down the drums...because we wanted to show off the look of the drums without distractions, we decided to put footprints along the base of the cake, and then just arrange the (completely edible!!!!) tap shoes on top to look as if they are about to tap right down the side.
The cake serves between 100-115. The bottom tier is chocolate with mocha mousse, and the top two tiers are lemon with cream cheese filling. Each tier is iced with a light whipped buttercream and then covered in fondant. The sugar decorations on the cake, particularly the edible shoes, took several days to make completely, and the cake also took several days to completely assemble (because certain items needed to set up and harden properly before work could continue.)
Below is a closer shot of the handmade sugar shoes:
Then I also delivered a small wedding cake for a little intimate ceremony and reception at someone's home. I actually really like how simple and delicious this cake looks, sitting on their side table. I've done this design before with other sizes of tiers, but I just thought I'd post the design again, since it makes my mouth water just looking at it!!!!
Check back next weekend for a pretty LONG cake project I'll be posting!!!! Can you guess what it will be?
