My husband & I are Civil War reenactors. I wanted a father's day cake that would reflect his love of the hobby. This cake is supposed to resemble his hat (kepi). The cake is 6" round, 2 layer french vanilla with almond buttercream and strawberry filling. Covered in gray SI fondant. The strap and bill are chocolate SI fondant. To make it shiny, i brushed with just a little water. He loved it! He especially liked that the red "oozed" a little like "blood" when he cut into it. He likes GROSS! LOL
