60 and Stll Running!
This was a small 60th birthday cake to serve 15, dark chocolate cake with mocha mousse covered in chocolate fondant.
The recipient is a lawyer, an avid runner, a landlord, a tennis player, and is affiliated with a popular commemorative jewelry company.
I was asked to include all of these things on this 7x11 inch surface!
The tennis ball and running shoe are hand sculpted rice krispie treats covered in fondant. The rental contract is edible sugar paper, hand printed. The silver "60" charm is hand cut fondant painted with edible silver color.
Sometime, it's difficult to include so many icons
on one cake, especially a very small cake, but in
this instance, it all seemed to work together very well.
The client and her husband were very happy with the results.
