A double birthday cake - 3D Cessna Airplane Cake!
My instructions:...Dad (turning 50) is a Cessna pilot who grows prize tomatoes (when deer aren't climbing into his garden to eat them). Daughter (turning 18) is a volleyball player who owns and loves bunnies!So the cake is my version of a Cessna airplane (all cake except the wings - white almond sour cream cake with white chocolate buttercream filling) sitting on a chocolate cake with mocha buttercream filling. People, bunnies, tomato plant and deer are all gumpaste keepsakes. The real challenge was figuring out how to have the airplane sit above the cake on its wheels. Bubble straws and dowels to the rescue!
A few close-up details...tried out a new technique for making "glass" on the windshield: combination of alcohol and corn syrup = dries hard and shiny like glass!
