Time for an up to date post! I had an order last week for a 21st birthday cake, to be in the shape of a USB stick. I like to plan and know what I am going to do ahead of time! Therefore a lot of thought and preparation was done before starting this cake! Also, seeing as it was a 21st birthday cake, I wanted to do a good job...no pressure!
First off, the cake was a 2-layer chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. The cake itself was in two parts; the USB key and the lid. The Cake was covered in red fondant (M&B), with detail and decoration in white and black, and silver paint for the metal piece. So far with cakes, I have used the FMM Funky Alphabet or small metal alphabet cutters I have. I used the FMM ones for the birthday message on the cake board. For the name on the USB itself, I needed a plain font, and without an appropriate cutter, it was back to hand cut letters! Worked out nicely! The 21GB was requested as a reference to the birthday that it was and I used the small letter cutters for this. The USB symbol was also made by hand. I also made the '21' on the lid from fondant, as another celebration of the 21st birthday!
