Ben's mom had a real creative foodie take on this cake for her son's second birthday. She ordered a half chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. The other half had a white cake with one layer of lemon mousse and the other layer with raspberry mousse. She wanted it large enough to serve 25 people, with a little leftover. This is a 12 x 12 cake, covered in buttercream. I made the mickey plane out of gumpaste a week ahead so it would dry out. The wings are held up by floral wire. The tops and sides of the cake were airbrushed. I like airbrushing because it cuts down on how much food coloring you're actually ingesting. Gives the cake color without turning your whole tongue a different shade. A challenging cake for me, with the elements and components, (and that I hadn't really worked with gumpaste in a while) but I was very pleased with the end result.
The only thing I have to say about that cake is that I want MORE!!!!!!! omg it was so delish!!! Everyone loved it and my extremely picky father in law can't stop talking about it. Lol. Thank you again, you have a gift! :) And my son just adored Mickey :)
