High Flying Birthday

My friend Lisa and her family celebrated her dad, Larry's 60th birthday back in January. It was a pleasure to do the cake for the event. Larry has his pilot's license and even owns an airplane. The color scheme for the party was designed around his plane, and Lisa asked that I do the same for the cake. The image came from the design on the tail of the plane. I did that part in marshmallow fondant... thought I'd try my hand at something new. It came out fine, but as a personal choice, I just don't like working with fondant as much as buttercream. The party was a huge success, and all of Lisa's hard work was very fruitful in making it a truly special celebration.
