A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday cake for his sister this past weekend. She works in the paint department of Home Hardware so he suggested maybe a paint can as the cake. He also asked for lemon to be incorporated in the cake as they have a family tradition of having a lemon dessert for Easter (when they were getting together).

I did a bit of research by visiting the local Home Hardware and Connie in the paint department was very helpful! Turns out there is actually a paint color called birthday party and so that is why I went with pink as the paint color (white chocolate ganache). The paint can itself it made to resemble their best seller for paint (image 3 is of actual paint can for reference). The paint roller is also cake with a fondant handle. It’s not all that obvious from the photo but I textured the fondant that covers the cake board. The cake was vanilla bean cake with vanilla icing and filled with lemon curd.
