50's Cake For My Daughters 8Th Birthday

For my daughters birthday, we redecorated her room in a 50's theme (I included a picture of this as well) so I thought a 50's theme cake would be a great option. This cake was not as detailed as my first cake making experience but I think it turned out great. I used basic store bought icing and colored it myself. The music notes on the bottom layer I hand drew and the records were cut out of store bought fondant that I painted them with black icing coloring. The silver beads that I used (last minute) were from a string of beads I bought from a resale shop. We washed them and cut the strings and just stuck them to the side. I am sure you can purchse silver edible candy balls but I was in a time crunch and had to make due with suff I already had. (I made sure to pull all these off before I cut the cake). The top )my FAVORITE part) I just used a small record that I also purchased from a resale shop. I used my DVD/CD label maker software from my computer to print the label. Again, I know this cake is not perfect but I was happy this my 2nd attempt as well!! Thanks again to everyone on the site who inspired this cake!!!
