This past weekend a good friend of mine, David, celebrated his 20th birthday. And for some reason I decided to bake a cake him (it might have so something to do with my fondness for decorating cupcakes).
Thus began my dissent into frosting.
To start I decided to stack two round 8 inch cakes to create the shape of the cake. This gave me a canvas but I still had to come up with a design. And, of course, when I offered to decorate a cake I had no idea what I wanted it to look like. Eventually I decided to feature and image of David's character from WoW, Maynar, and my character's pet cat, Cindy. Here are some of the sketches I came up with.
At first I wanted to use this cake as an experiment with fondant, but I just didn't have time to learn a new medium. So I instead decided to make the figures on paper and attach them to the cake.
I also planned to pipe a simple message that read something to the effect of "Happy Birthday, David!" However, all this was subject to change...
Check back tomorrow for Part Two.
