Happy Eightieth

I loved the flowers on this cake. I also love it when the customer has a clear idea on what they want for the cake. Trish gave me a sketch to work from which made things so much easier. I was really happy with the end results and so was the birthday girl. Happy 80th!

The Hunger Games: May the odds be ever in your favour.

If you've seen The Hunger Games movie then you'll be right up with what it all means. I myself have never seen it because I don't do the whole people being hunted by other people thing very well. This cake was really fun but challenging to make though the end result was so much better than I expected.. I made the mockingjay over two days using a tutorial from this site finishing the mockingjay off with ediable gold spray. The gold colour in the top photo was how it actually looked, but the photos below don't show just how rich the gold colour actually was. Then the rest was pretty quick. The quote on it "may the odds be ever in your favor!" for those of us who don't know is just good luck. This cake was for a 14th birthday. Keehly sketched the cake out exactly how she wanted it and I stayed pretty close to it. I didn't put flames all around the cake because it would have over shadowed the quote. I can tell you she loved it when the box was opened. So a big happy 14th Keehly!!!
