Dad's 50th Birthday Cake -- 2010

For my dad's 50th birthday, I wanted to make something special, something that would stand out and would capture everyone's attention and really focus on moments of my dad’s life. And that is exactly what I did. I made a  4 layered chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. I then covered it in white fondant, and decorated the white fondant with edible sugar images of my dad. From when he was a baby, to graduation, him running a race, etc. His favorite baseball team are the Mets so I incorporated the teams colors onto the cake as well. I dyed fondant in the teams colors and cut out all different size stars. Some of the stars I place directly onto the cake while others I put onto different sized wires and then stuck them into the cake. The end result was a one of a kind birthday cake. J
