60Th Birthday Cake

This is a cake that I made for my friend's mom's birthday. The top 2 cakes are vanilla sponge with lemon cream and lemon bc. The bottom cake was choc sponge with choc bc for the bottom layer, coffee bc for middle layer and dulce de leche bc for the top layer. All cakes were covered in mmf and the flowers were made of RI and dusted with pearl dust. This was my first attempt at 3 tiers. A bit of a nightmare, but overall worked out better than expected. Wish I had better candle than the dollar store ones!

Very beautiful! I love the pink! It reminds me a lot of one I saw in a Peggy Porchen book.

Looks perfect--would never guess it was your first 3 tiered cake! If you want to change the colors of candles, try piping over them with RI or food color-they usually aren't lit long enough to "melt" the icing.
