80th Birthday

 Going to Las Vegas for my mother-in-law's 80th birthday.   Hope this cake travels that far ok.  Lemon cake filled with a layer of boysenberry curd and a layer of pastry cream and frosted with buttercream.  All decorations are hand sculpted from gum paste. 
  

letters from cutters and dusted with plum color

used a decorating comb to texture the side...angle makes the cake look crooked but was very straight

orchids, butterfly, filler flowers, and varigated ivy
