My little brother Gage had his 21st Birthday on May 26th and I was lucky enough to go home to Utah before my summer tour started. It was great to hang out with my family, but best of all, great to spend a whole day baking and decorating a cake with my wonderful Mom!
We rolled out a TON of fondant and started dying it four different colors. This cake was going to be COLORFUL! My Mom was very good at making sure all the tones were perfect, thanks Ma!
We made a 10" cake and a 7" yellow butter cake. The butter cake turned out very dense and super moist. We covered those cakes in homemade buttercream frosting (Mom's recipe) which ended up making this cake super delicious!
We took all of our awesome colors and laid them out in pieces to create a camouflage look. My brother is a hunter and loves to take his truck off-road so I wanted to add some special personal touches to his birthday cake.
All of the pieces were together and the fondant was ready to roll (pun intended). We laid it on the cake and smoothed it all out. It was looking awesome! We added some personal touches and it was ready for the party!
Ta da! The little trucks and pine trees added some fun details and the camouflage turned out pretty cool too (I think!) After we got it all done, we brushed it off and put the candles on. Everyone came over to my Mom's for the party and LOVED the cake! I hope you enjoyed it little bro. Happy Birthday!
