Aspiring Artist's Cake


A young talented and aspiring artist, Anaya, is celebrating her 9th birthday.  Her mom, Shruti, surprised her with this painting theme birthday cake.


This cake was a rich, moist chocolate cake filled with Ghirardelli dark and semi-sweet chocolate buttercream. The cake was iced and adorned with almond-buttercream fondant.  The painter's coloring board, paint tube, and paint brushes were made with gum paste and fondant mixture.  The paint (yellow, red, blue, and green) was royal icing.



The bonus item for this cake was a humming bird she painted that I made in edible icing sheet.  During pictorial of the cake, the edible painting slipped off and broke into pieces.  I was not able to recreate the edible image as my printer's nozzle clogged up.  



Happy Birthday, Anaya!!!!
