This past weekend was Sweetface’s sweetie’s birthday!

Okay, so Sweetie loves him some technology.  He’s a sucker for anything with a lowercase “i” in front of it.  He loves his iPhone so I made him an iPhone cake.

Ugh.

This thing took me the better part of a Saturday to make, but I had to get it just right!  Here she is…

Tah-dah!!!!!

The cake was two 9″x13″ sheetcakes of vanilla-fudge marble with chocolate buttercream and Twix bar filling.  I made the white and chocolate buttercreams, as well as the marshmallow fondant that I used to decorate the cake.  The icon tiles are marshmallow fondant and I hand-painted each one with food colorings and Absolut Vanilla vodka (I found out that alcohol-based liquid will dry quicker and not “melt” the fondant like water will).  I iced the cake with chocolate buttercream and covered it with black marshmallow fondant.  I used white fondant, dusted with silver luster dust for the “buttons” and the trim.  All the text is done in white buttercream.

Whew!  It broke my heart when we had to hack into this thing.  But it was delicious, Sweetie was thrilled, and I was happy to do it for him.
