Country Music Birthday Cake For Stephen
This was made for a gentleman celebrating his 60th birthday, This was a very special day because Stephen has Down's Syndrome and it's rare for the sufferer enjoy a 60th birthday. He loves country music, especially Vince Gill. The order was sort of last minute, so I was fortunate to already have Dolly and Willie, whom I refurbished and added to the cake. The bottom tier is chocolate, filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream, finished with bark made from modeling chocolate. The top tier is strawberry, filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream, finished with white chocolate ganache. The figures are made from modeling chocolate with fondant and gum paste clothes. The Black Eyed Susans were made from Sugarin Flower Paste by Arati Mirji.
