This cake was created for Susie who is celebrating her 70th birthday! Her daughter ordered the cake and when we originally spoke she was thinking a tiered cake to feature all her mother's interests and some of her life's adventures. I was having a difficult time coming up with a plan for a cake that would make sense w/ all the different themes they wanted the cake to include (favorite sports teams, hobbies, travel, states she has lived in, "world's best grandma", etc). I was afraid the cake would look very choppy with so much going on and no main design to pull it all together.
.
Then I came up with a solution that I think pulled it off nicely...a suitcase covered in stickers...70 Years of Adventure and all along the way Susie has been adding stickers to her suitcase. Daughter loved the idea and we went for it. :) My new printer w/ edible ink came just in time for this one! All the stickers were printed on wafer paper with edible ink and then applied to fondant.
So here it is... Susie's 70 Years of Adventures!
