FIRE FIGHTER MICKEY INSPIRED CAKE!

An acquaintance of one of my Best Customers Evelin, contacted me and asked me to make a very special birthday cake for her boyfriend who was a fire fighter and a huge Mickey Mouse fan! More than happy to oblige I was thrilled to make a fire fighter themed cake and accepted the challenge to incorporate Mickey Mouse without making it look childish.  I searched around to find inspiration for my design and when I designed the sketch, my customer loved it!  I bought some new decorating tools that I was so excited to use on the cake, they were beyond perfect! I created fondant fireman boots, a fireman helmet and a long winding firehouse that went around the entire cake.  The outside of the cake was wrapped in red brick printed fondant (thanks to my new tool) and I added some black fondant lettering with her boyfriends favorite number & 'Happy Birthday' on the front. I chose to incorporate Mickey Mouse silhouettes on the front plate of the fireman helmet and on the top of the cake beneath the boots and helmet on top.  The cake turned out wonderfully, I was so thrilled!
