This was a Farewell cake for a girl named Alex. She was off to Paris, lucky her... I airbrushed France and handpainted the city names. The Eiffel tower was made of gumpaste - I learned how to shim the pieces together by shaving down the edges with a scalpel. Pretty intricate work - I finished it off by adding royal icing detail and then airbrushed the tower to look like metal. She kept the Eiffel tower as a keepsake and the chocolate Guinness cake was devoured on the spot. Great success! This is probably one of my favourite cakes.
