A cake for my dad's (surprise) 60th birthday party. He's a crane operator, so I piped a bunch of cranes around the cake. Rather than go for a cutesy construction look, I drew silhouettes of cranes that his company actually uses. The cake is chocolate with buttercream icing, airbrushed and then piped with chocolate buttercream that was colored black. There is no topper because my sister provided candles at the party.
