I am behind in posting my latest cakes that I've made. This one I made for a New Year's Eve birthday celebration. The house was decorated in black and silver and that's how I decorated the cake. I made a three layer Perfect Chocolate Cake but with salted caramel icing instead of the whipped cream filling. Covered in grey fondant then heavily dusted with silver shimmer dust. It was Kostas' 40th birthday so I put 40 stars on the cake. I also made 3 dozen cupcakes to go along with the cake.
For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds. To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once. You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture. The clouds piped out perfectly. The rainbow was a little more difficult. Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.
