Happy 60









It's Gloria's mum's 60th birthday - a big celebration indeed! Thinking of the birthday cake is first and foremost (I'd say so).  A cake for a big day should be something memorable. We then asked about her mum's fave activities, pets or anything that makes her day - milking the cows on the farm and she tends to her farm chores in her wellie; her two loyal companions (dogs) never let her go out of their sight. 

This sculpted cow cake is a Maritoni velvet cake with a creamy white chocolate butter cheese frosting. It was covered with a Maritoni homemade fondant, hence the sweetness and the texture were controlled.



The dogs and the wellie were made out of the fondant - not a single pinch of  Tylo powder or any other powder was added into the fondant. 








 





The dogs, the wellie and the field were handpainted.  The letters and the numbers were hand cut and splattered with pink to create tiny flowers. Finally everything was glossed  in the Maritoni way.







"They love the cake!!! Thanks very much." - a text from Gloria sometime later.

It's an honour to make a cake for a very special day.
