A roaring 20's Birthday!

So I've just about caught up.  This cake was for Giulia's 40th birthday this past Saturday, the 18th of October.  Tina called me and asked if I could make a roaring 20's theme cake for the roaring 20's party they were having to honor her sister.

 

This 2 tiered cake is done in all black and white with a touch of silver.  Tina showed me a cake that she found on the website and wanted it similar to it.  Our little roaring 20's girl sitting on the top tier is made out of gum paste and a gum paste broche with Giulia's initial is front and center on the bottom tier.

 

The 2 tiers are chocolate fudge cake filled with chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache. A chocolate lovers dream and Giulia loves chocolate.

Though it is difficult to see, the bottom tier is bordered by a fabric fringe supplied by Tina. I think in the above picture you can just see a little white fondant peeking through between the fringe.  Black fondant beads border the top tier. The black feather with the black rose was also supplied by Tina.

Happy 40th Giulia!
