Got a request for a birthday cake this week, which they left me carte blanche to do whatever I wanted...
The details they gave me: blue, basketball, OSU, Bible study and shopping.
Here's what I came up with...
I carved the front of the cake so there were steps for each of the figures. Embossed the band around the bottom of the cake with "Happy Birthday" and added a bizillion little fondant flowers.
The inside is red velvet and cream cheese buttercream. Hope the cake was as good as the scraps!
