60th Birthday Cake

I made a two layer buttermilk sheet cake with chocolate frosting. I used a picture that I found online to create the decoration on the top of the cake. I printed the picture, cut around the edge and pressed the cut out paper on the top of the cake to create the outline. By using pre-made black frosting in a piping bag, I followed the outline that I had made earlier. I was able to create the rest of the picture by looking at the original. I filled in the empty areas with pre-made white icing. I added the Happy 60th by hand with the same frosting. It was a huge hit at a very large birthday party.
