75Th Birthday Cake In Red And White

My grandmother's 75th birthday cake. I had no idea what this cake design was going to be, even up until I was finishing the details on it- it was very last minute. Large bottom layer vanilla sugar cookie cake with caramel cream filling. Middle red velvet with white chocolate ganache, top strawberry with mom's homemade strawberry fig preserves. All icing is cream cheese buttercream. Silver dragees in the diamond quilting. Roses and leaves are gumpaste and my first attempt at flowers (Yay!), bows are fondant, beaded brooches are edible. Topper formed from RKT then arranged flowers. I used my Cricut cake for initials and the Cricut icing sheets in red with red edible luster dust. Base for cake was a mirror with a barrier between it and cake and crystals were made from bent wires and a bracelet I bought at the craft store and cut up.
