River Deep, Mountain High

Yes, she must love him quite a lot, to order for his birthday not one, but two big cakes. One with a boat theme, one with a skiing theme - this was a very interesting, and also somewhat frustrating challenge...

Yes, it's a mountain of red velvet and butter cheese frosting, covered in two layers of marzipan, sprayed with edible pearl spray for a glittery snow sheen, marzipan trees and a small cairn like you can find on many mountain tops...

...with a handsome skier, hopefully slightly in resemblance to the man of the day...

...with flash, to better show the colours...

You need some nice spruces on a mountain side, I do say

And then to the river deep. Or ocean wide, would be more appropriate, probably... A solid A Plus Carrot Cake with cheese cream, again covered in marzipan, decorated with... boat details... Oh, what a difficult task, to make symmetrical stuff on a soft, gooey cake o.O

Look at it drifting happily, on the big (...), blue marzipan ocean...

It's bigger than it looks... About 45cm in length, I think.

Ah, a rat on wings. So cozy...

Good luck with tomorrows opportunities ;)
