Here is a birthday cake for someone's surprise 30th birthday party. It's a 2 tiered cake. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and the top is yellow cake with white buttercream icing. Both layers are covered with black fondant. The candles are also made of colored fondant. The 30 on top of the cake in the second picture is made of a fondant and gumpaste mixture. It isn't in the first picture because it broke right before the party, so I had to improvise. Oh well.
