I had a busy cake week this past week. I had a Birthday cake to make and I decided to make a casket cake since it was for someone who owned a funeral home, and I thought it was absolutely perfect! The cake was a 5 day process. Day 1 I started gum paste flowers for decor and I spent 2 days on the flowers. On the 3rd day I baked the cake, day 4 I assembled and carved the cake out, and finally day 5 I covered and decorated the cake.
Step 1 I covered the cake with chocolate satin ice fondant
Step 2 I added indents and handles which are on real caskets
Step 3 I put the gum paste flowers on and secured them with royal icing
Step 4 I added the fondant Happy Birthday plate
Not only did I make this casket cake this week, I also did some cute girly birthday cupcakes to go along with the cake with the matching gum paste flowers.
