My Own 50Th Birthday Cake

My Own 50Th Birthday Cake on Cake Central

I just turned golden this June. I thought my cake should best describe me---cake artist, bold and whimsical, free-spirited, different and funny. Everything is edible and made of fondant and gumpaste, except for the "kitchen-aid" mixer, which was carved from styro then covered with fondant. This cake came with a cupcake tower which I will post separately.
