This cake I made for a gentleman who goes to my home church who turned 90 years young last week. A group of friends were having a celebration for him and asked me to make a cake. He has a collection of clocks in his house so we thought it would be appropriate to make a clock cake.
This is a 8" 2 layer chocolate cake with buttercream filling. On the roof of his garage is the old town hall bell that rings every day at noon...or so I have been told. I decided to have the hands read out at almost noon. This worked in my favour in the end as I was able to add "happy 90th" in the face of the clock. Originally I cut out the letters in black but then it was too much with the black numbers.
I thought the ivy around the sides were pretty neutral. I drew in the vine of the ivy with edible brown marker. It was so muggy though that the marker wouldn't write very well. It took a long time to get it on but it ended up looking like it was painted on so I was really happy with the effect.
One of the couples at the celebration had their birthdays that week as well so I made them each their own cupcake.
