My dear friend’s son turned 30 this year. Joe’s birthday is very soon after Thanksgiving and I didn’t do anything until after that weekend. I would be starting work on the first of December and had a lot to finish up before my time got eaten up with work! Luckily, this was not a huge project and I was more than happy to do it.
Fan of Metal Mulisha gets his birthday cake
Our idea was to go with Metal Mulisha… he wears a lot of it. As does my younger son. So, I was familiar with it. I went online to find a picture of the skull with the helmet I knew was part of the brand. In no time at all I found what I was looking for and then traced the photo in Illustrator so I could size it to the cake.
An eight-inch round, two-layer, red velvet cake would mean I didn’t have to go very big with the emblem. Just big enough to handle the details easily. I colored the fondant grey and went with the white emblem with black trim.
One candle for each decade and another great year to come!
