Double Layer Surprise Party Cake
This cake is from a couple months ago when I went out on a whim and gave my boyfriend and 21st birthday surprise party. This my first double layer carrot cake I made. The tricky thing was getting the proportions correct (mostly witht the carrots in the cake) and trying to make the right cream cheese icing with just the right consistency. I decorated the cake with his favorite colors (red, blue, and gold). and used wire and icing to create the 21.
great colors...love the topper! how did you do it?
i got the idea from wilton.com. i got some easily bendable aluminum wire. then traced the numbers onto paper, formed the wires into the numbers with some extra length for the bottom. then using some royal icing and the basic icicng circular tip i outlined and covered it, put some sprinkles on it, put it on wax paper then put it in the freezer (hoping it would harden more but that didn't exactly work) then after a while i took it out then closer to the time of the party I took it out and put it on! 8)
