Birthday Cakes

Today was another big day I had to make two birthday cakes. One I was planning on making for a while because it is for my best friend. The other was last minute for my coworkers son who is turning 21. I managed to finish each cake just in time with not too much lost sleep.

The cake for my best friend is a chocolate cake that is covered in icing that made caramel flavored and the outside is covered in shredded coconut and then drizzled with chocolate over the coconut. I made is name using symbols from different video games and music that he listens to. The "J" is a simple music note representing his music talent, the "O" is the Horde symbol from world of Warcraft the "S" is the Shinedown logo and the "H" is composed of the turret from portal and a light saber from none other than the new star wars mmo game.


The cake for my coworkers son his name is Nate was suppose to be checkered with his 2 favorite colors but i lost a layer of cake it stuck to the pan and just was bad news. Since he is turning 21 his mom wanted something that was more unique towards him. His favorite drink is NewAmsterdam so so I attempted to make the bottle out of gum-paste to the best of my ability and had it appear as it was spilling across the cake. Here is a picture of how that cake turned out
