So...I did something completely insane this weekend. My siblings and I decided to throw my mom a killer 50th birthday celebration. Well, that part isn't so insane, but the fact that I'm so damned cheap to pay $50.oo for a stupid sheet cake and would decide to make a "designer" cake myself is!
NINE HOURS LATER, the finished product actually turned out exactly the way I pictured it in my head. I guess they call me the Chronic Creativity for a reason.
So here is the breakdown of the three tier "Birthday Cake"
Top Layer ...german chocolate
Middle Layer...chocolate fudge cake with whipped cream cheese filling
Bottom Layer...Yellow cake with whipped cream cheese filling
Orange zest butter cream frosting
Marzipan embellishments rolled and cut by hand, hand painted with edible gold dust.
Hand crafted white chocolate swirls dusted with gold.
Transported to the venue under a tarp because of the damned rain!
Needless to say, I was pretty happy at my very first attempt at a tier cake.
And just so you know its actually MY cake...you can see my mom and son in the second photo!!
