Red And Gold Birthday
My boss's birthday cake. Had to come up with something with some "wow" factor, doncha know. Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream. MMF on the outside. Gumpaste decorations. The scrolllwork (my first...kinda wonky) was done with a piping gel/luster dust mixture...allowed to "skin" overnight...painted with a thin luster dust/alcohol mixture. After it was finished, I thought it looked like a WWI German army helmet. A pretty one, though. LOL!
Love the colors and the gold came out great.
How awesome, love the colors! Greetings from Germany!!!!!
I think it looks great! The rope border looks like red licorice. :)
cool cake, I can seee the army helmet but it is MUCH better!
cool cake, I think you did a nice job. Love the gold and red.
Ha ha.. now that you point out the army helmut, I can see it. Gorgeous cake though.
As I was taking it out of the car, the "red licorice" thought occurred to me, too. I had a devil of a time putting a bottom border on this one. The fondant was especially sticky and droopy. Gave me fits. It's the first time I've fed my gang fondant. Will be interesting....
I love.. very cool
