My aunt threw a surprise 50th birthday party for my uncle, and of course everyone had expected me to make a gag cake. So I made my new-found signature vanilla cake… and in the hectic chaos of it all, I forgot to fill the cake!! haha But that’s okay because the execution of the design turned out way better than I had imagined! The whole cake was then steamed for a shiny glossy look. One side of the cake represented his youth and love of guns and a shooting range, while the other side represented old age, complete with diapers, the “blue pill”, glasses and a walker, as my uncle frantically tries to climb back up to the other side. Everything was hand sculpted out of fondant except for the glasses and walker which were plied out of wire.
