Uncle Mario's 80Th Birthday Cake

German chocolate cake filled with hazelnut ganache and covered with lightly flavoured orange fondant for a wonderful man who just turned 80. The photograph on the cake is an edible image of him when he was 26. The floral arrangements at his birthday party were yellow lillies among other flowers and the family wanted yello lillies on the cake too. All flowers (Yellow lilies and stargazer, agapanthus, daisies) ,and foliage (lily buds and leaves, maidenhair fern, ivy leaves) are made from gumpaste, as are the scroll borders that frame the photograph. The embroidery on he sides of the cake is done with royal icing. The cake boards are covered with pastillage and have embossed borders.
