If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time. Not tomorrow or next year... Today should always be our most wonderful day...

So, let's eat cake!

Beer and Cake

I started work on the 30th birthday cake... And found out that the dinner party isn't going to be as big as I thought, so I had to make some adjustments on the size of the cake. Not to mention the birthday boy doesn't like sweets (what?!)

SO, I think I'm only going to make a beer cooler cake. I had my weekly session w/ Buddy Love tonight resulting in a late start on sculpting the cake... This is all I did tonight:



I used (2) 8 inch square strawberry cakes and (1) 8 inch round funfetti cake with a creamy banana ganache filling and swiss buttercream crumb coat. Again, the birthday boy doesn't like sweets so I figured I would just pick what I liked and hopefully he would like it too. If even for just a bite.... Anyhow, because I had to make a smaller cake than I thought, I used what I had on hand- and made some creative adjustments to make it square... as you see below after I frosted it all...



Tomorrow I will cover in fondant and begin to add the details... wait for it....
