Description
I think my husband makes the best inspiration. He turned old this year, so cake is awesome but so is being old. I dub this the "You're old (and that's awesome!)" cake. Except I actually wrote on the top "Getting old is awesome!" Didn't want to make him feel too bad about being old.
Its a coffee flavoured cake, with salted caramel espresso Swiss meringue buttercream. All decorations are made of fondant expect those are dark chocolate covered coffee beans as the border around the bottom. There are toothpicks in the arms cause I had no idea what sort of miracle would defy gravity and keep those suckers in there. The cake is not covered in fondant on the sides, that is sweet Swiss meringue right there.
There are also toothpicks behind the bolts because I tried to defy fondant with those but it didn't work. I also completely forgot to take a photo of the naked cake (I'm so bad for that :( ) but you can see my leftover batter that I turned into cupcakes to eat the leftover frosting with :)
