For the rocker you know: A drum cake!

We got a call from a client who wanted to get a special cake for her boyfriend's 30th birthday. He's a drummer in a band and she wanted to get him a cake that looked like his drum. She sent us a photo of the drum and we got to work!



The cake was one layer of vanilla cake, one layer moist chocolate cake and another layer of vanilla cake. All of the layers were pulled together with delicious chocolate-hazelnut buttercream.


Mmmmmm.....


Then, I covered it in white fondant and got to work on its sides. The drum was blue with sparkles, so I brushed blue sparkle shimmer powder on the blue and painted the metallic accents with silver shimmer.


We heard back from the client and it was a hit!


"I just wanted to let you know that your cake was a smash hit with drew and his family! everyone was impressed with the look and the delicious taste of the cake :)"


Glad he liked it!
