Happy Birthday to ME- Grumpy Cake

by jennifer blaine mccarthy
(largo, fl)

2 layer sheet cake triple choc with choc fudge frosting in middle. i covered in a light layer of buttercream, then free-handed a pic of grumpy and used star tip to fill in. i made a sugar cookie sign to look like real wood by mixing food coloring and rum and painted on wood grain. the flowers are all fondant, flat and curved to give a 3-d effect. it was a great hit for a 80th bday party!
