Birthday Cake

My friend Katie's 21st Birthday Cake.

My boss an I worked on this cake for about 3 weeks with planning and whatnot. The ticket and filmstrip are my work. The ticket is just on cardstock and the filmstrip was printed on window cling paper then laminated.

The golden Oscar is solid milk chocolate, cast from a mold my boss has. It's covered in edible gold fleck, like the numbers and stars on the cake. Oscar's base was cast from a Jell-O pudding cup.

The popcorn and it's container are 100% edible. The container was cast from a Jell-O pudding cup with white chocolate. The popcorn is just regular popcorn coated with white chocolate.

The cake itself is a 4 layer torte-- raspberry swirl pound cake (from scratch) layered with white chocolate icing. The cake's icing is also handmade white chocolate.

When my friend saw the cake, she nearly burst into tears. Awesome
