Darren's 21St Plaque Closeup
3 of 5: Closeup of the plaque on top. Birthday boy requested to have this equation on top, as he is studying engineering at uni. It is approximately equal to 21. You read the plaque as "Happy 21st Darren". Airbrushing on the letters and plaque. Plaque is on a 6inch cardboard.

Darren's 21St Birthday Cake
1 of 5: Caramel mud cake with dark chocolate ganache. Two stacked cakes, covered as one. Top is 8inch, bottom is 6inch, carved to get shape. Light green fondant, masked and airburshed red. Airbrushed plaque and letters. The fondant ended up really lumpy, so I added panels to the sides which turned out a bit smoother. I cut off the double layer of fondant when serving. Chilies have chili powder kneeded in, as requested by birthday boy.

Tilted Gift Cake
Another view of 21st gift cake. 4inch cake with the bottom layer carved to give the tilt. Top layer is light purple fondant that is airbrushed in purple to give the vivid colour. Bottom layer is white fondant that has been painted with green royal icing. Strawberries and "21" are modeling paste. "21" was supposed to be standing up, but the cake would be too tall for the box. Edilbe purple glitter on top.

Another view of 4inch cake as a birthday present. The receipient has a very large aquarium with lots of coral and fish, including some clown fish. Modeled the clownfish out of orange modeling paste, then added white paste stripes and painted lines with black food colouring. Coral is modeling paste. Sea weed and blue water texturing is royal icing painted on with a brush.
