Project: Cake for 60th birthday

The client wanted a two-tier cake in white and blue and a bird perched on tree branch topper with a colorful, extravagant tail. 

This client is a regular as I have made five projects for her since I started.  And every time she orders a cake, she already knows what she wants and how she wants the cake to come out.  She would often give her own ideas as she has seen a particular design from somewhere.  I really do appreciate those little gestures.  That way, the whole planning scheme becomes less tedious for me.

Getting started, the first layer (bottom) made up of three 8-inch chocolate cake was covered with butter cream icing and hazelnut butter cream filling.

Then covered with rolled marshmallow fondant tinted with blue liquid food coloring.

Put the second layer right in the center of the bottom layer.  Before I placed the top layer, wooden skewers were inserted into the the bottom layer to support the weight of the cake on top.

Finally, the finished product.
