Nervy books!

Congrats, Dustin, on making tenure at Case! Way to go!

To celebrate, his cake consisted of the "bible" in the speciality of neural sciences, Principles of Neural Science, and a brand new publication, Neuralmodulation, in which he has a published a chapter.

Each book serves approximately 20 people. The blue book is lemon chiffon with cheesecake mousse filling. The black book is a swiss chocolate cake covered in chocolate fondant with chocolate raspberry ganache filling.

All of the specialty related objects are hand modeled fondant. The congratulations memo is gum paste with a hand printed Case logo letterhead.

.....and wearing nothin' but a toolbelt.....

This cake was for Pete the Handyman's 50th birthday party. He loves the beach, burgers, Bud, and a sign by his pool that says, "Bathing suits optional".

The 11x15 yellow cake was filled with raspberry mousse and iced with vanilla buttercream. Sand was created with crushed vanilla wafers and cinnamon graham crackers. Pete, his toolbelt, tools, and all of the other decorations are hand modeled sugarpaste.
