Custom Birthday Cake

Custom cakes are always fun to make. Here's one I made last summer. The vanilla cake is filled and frosted in light blue colored buttercream. The birthday boy loves apples. He's fascinated with anything that has wheels and plugs! yes, plugs! 

Taking reference from those information I made gum paste figures of a little boy surrounded by a crate of apples, a teddy bear, a large wheel and a plug. 

It's always a good idea to make the figures days before you decorate the cake to allow the gum paste to set and dry. 

What's more important also is to make sure that the cake tastes great so you have a happy customer and fun celebration!
