Just a quick post for the latest cake. This occasion; my wonderful grandfather's birthday! This one was a small square 2-layer vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and a layer of raspberry jam. I covered the cake in light blue fondant & the theme of the cake was a crossword, given his love of puzzles! The Happy Birthday message was displayed as words in the crossword, and had the added decorations of a fondant pencil and rubber. The finishing touch to the cake was a border to the bottom of the cake. Having recently purchased a sugar craft gun, this was my first opportunity to test it! I made two strips of different strengths of blue, and twisted for a two-tone rope affect for the border.Tuesday, March 26, 2013
