Michelle's Birthday Cake

Michelle's Birthday Cake on Cake Central

This is my first topsy turvy cake and my first time working with fondant. My friends husband asked me if we could leave the top layer off, so that it could be carried to her with a candle during "Happy Birthday." I would appreciate any feedback.

Very well done! Are the black and red pre-mixed? Nice theme of shapes and colors. :) Can you please pass the shrimp :lol:

I love it! The fondant looks like it could be smoother - something I'm working on with my cakes right now as well. Did you "dam" with your icing? I've found that this makes a big difference.

No I started with white and mixed all the colors. I was really pleased with how rich the colors were. I mixed the red and black the day before and they really do get richer sitting. The party theme was "Rock n Roll Birthday" thus the music notes. I have picked up some tips to smooth the fondant better so I'm excited to try another.
