Hi everyone, was hoping that some of you creative guys and gals could help me out. Was asked to make a 50th birthday cake for a very chic and elegant lady but her favorite color is black and no other interests. I'm stumped totally. Don't want to make an all black cake, thats depressing. She does love hermes and jewelry but still they want something classy and elegant.

This popped up in the photos today, and fell right into my favorites:

Here's another simple, elegant one... I'm sure you could do it in another shape if you need to:
