This is what my grandson chose for his 11th birthday. His football team is The Monsters with the Monster Drink logo. He's not a fan of fondant, so we have to come up with buttercream designs. Actually, he wanted it to be all chocolate but I had to explain that I couldn't make the purple and gray from chocolate. I iced the whole cake with chocolate, the added the dots and thin layer of gray buttercream on top.

For a Mardi Gras themed Sweet 16 "Masquerade Bash" complete with casino. My first - and last - topsy turvy cake! Not fun at all!! The top 4-5" tier is RKT. The cake tiers are 6-7" and 8-9". I wish I hadn't put pearl dust on the '16'. It started out as dark purple, but the dust lightened it way too much. Lesson learned.
