This was a fun, and interesting cake. She wanted a cake with her new tattoo on it, so I painted it on a piece of fondant and put it on top. It is yellow cake with chocolate buttercream icing.

50th Birthday Cake with Fresh Red Roses
My husband made these beautiful cutting boards.
I helped my friend give her step-mother a wine and cheese 50th birthday party. I made the cake, the nuts, and helped with flower arranging and set-up.
My husband, Joshua, made the beautiful cutting boards that the cheese is displayed on. He is really talented. Check out his blog woodworksbyjoshua.blogspot.com .
The cake is white velvet (my new favorite) with fresh strawberry filling and citrus buttercream. There are beautiful red roses arranged on top with thin sparkle candles. The nuts are Union Station Bar Nuts deliciously made with brown sugar and rosemary. There were fruit skewers, 3 types of cheese and crackers, hummus with pita chips, Bruschetta with Panetini, chocolate covered cherries, and of course...wine. It was a beautiful party and everyone had a great time.
