I made this for my 3 kids' birthday party at a Karaoke Cafe'. They were turning 21, 17 and 15 and wanted the tiers to represent their interests. They are what you call a "triple threat" because they all sing, dance and act along with playing musical instruments and painting/drawing. Top layer is vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Middle piano layer is vanilla with buttercream. Bottom drum layer is vanilla cake with cookies & cream buttercream. Covered in fondant. Decorations are all fondant...drumsticks, paintbrush, piano keys, balls, etc. Lines, musical notes and "spilled paint" are black piping gel. Converse High Top and ballet slipper on top are both krispy treats covered in fondant. Guitar (on other side, not in picture) is also krispy treat covered in fondant. I didn't leave the dowels long enough to account for the weight of the tiers and put too much filling in the bottom drum layer... hence the reason why it "buckled" a little... Lesson learned! Hope you like it.
