Happy Sparkly 80Th

Happy Sparkly 80Th on Cake Central

This is for my mother-in-law who will be 80 years old this weekend. She is having a very big party so a big cake was required! It is fruit on the bottom and the other tiers are plain old sponge filled with buttercream. I used cutters for all the shapes and painstakingly glued and sparkled them before sticking them with royal icing. I wired the crystals a few weeks ago to make sure they wouldn't fall off! The glittery design will be pulled off before cutting the cake...I don't think I'll be watching!

The sparkle is from Edable Art and is used on cakes but isn't edible. It does no harm at all but it is best to remove the design before eating. It's pretty though!

The cutters I used were one design from FMM Decorative Design tappits (see them on Lindy Smith site) and a little teardrop cutter and a piping tip for the circle. I just played with shapes til I found a design I liked.
