Alyssa's 16Th Birthday

Alyssa's 16Th Birthday on Cake Central

This is a 22" x 15" sheet cake that consisted of yellow pound cake with chocolate/mocha mousse filling and buttercream icing. The star cake consisted of the same components. I made the stars, moons and banner out of a fondant/gumpaste materials. I created the shimmering, silver moons after reading a CC forum topic on how to achieve a bright metallic looking gold finish and just transferred the idea to silver. I have learned so much on this site from tips and suggestions from others. Thank you.

Thanks snowshoe1. If you look on (...) there is a really great and easy to understand formulation for making the metallic gold appearance by ShirleyW. I believe that further down in that forum topic you will read how that ShirleyW creates the silver metallic look on her cakes. Special thanks go to ShirleyW for her instructions! ;-D
