80Th Birthday

80Th Birthday on Cake Central

This is a cake I made for my Grandpa's 80th birthday. The 8 was lemon cake with chocolate filling and the 0 was chocolate cake with caramel filling. Turned out to be almost too rich with the chocolate frosting! It was VERY heavy and I had to have my husband carry it.

I don't have the number pans. I used 2 round cakes and cut out the centers and trimmed off a little of the round of each where they met in the middle for the 8 and the 0 is one round with the an inside circle cut out and then the entire round halved, cut out 2 strips from the same size square as the round and add them in between the 2 round halves. Hope that is clear as mud?!?! The lemon cake held up well to the cutting but the chocolate was not dense enough. Live and learn!

Fabulous! I'm going to UK next week and making my Mom's 80th cake - just love this, but she doesn't like chocolate. Can you believe it? Looks yummy!
