Breakfast at Tiffany's Birthday cake


Here is a Breakfast at Tiffany's birthday cake I made recently.  (Click pictures to enlarge)

I made edible pearls from sugarpaste and draped them around, then made plaques from flower paste and wrote quotes from the movie on them.
I used a mould to make the pearls but you could make them by rolling small balls of paste by hand.

I coloured the top tier sugarpaste with Ice blue paste colour by Sugarflair. Just adding in a little with a cocktail stick until I got the desired colour.



I finished off the plaques with edible jelly gems, and also placed some around the cake.

I made the ring that came from the Cracker Jack box which Paul Varjak gets engraved and gives to Holly Golightly.

 I imprinted the design of the Cracker Jack box using a scriber tool then coloured over the lines using edible colour pens.
