Red And Gold Birthday

Red And Gold Birthday on Cake Central

My boss's birthday cake. Had to come up with something with some "wow" factor, doncha know. Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream. MMF on the outside. Gumpaste decorations. The scrolllwork (my first...kinda wonky) was done with a piping gel/luster dust mixture...allowed to "skin" overnight...painted with a thin luster dust/alcohol mixture. After it was finished, I thought it looked like a WWI German army helmet. A pretty one, though. LOL!

As I was taking it out of the car, the "red licorice" thought occurred to me, too. I had a devil of a time putting a bottom border on this one. The fondant was especially sticky and droopy. Gave me fits. It's the first time I've fed my gang fondant. Will be interesting....
