Birthday Boy!

I just completed this cake for a young man's 12th birthday.  His mother asked that I include his two favorite activities soccer and swimming.  It was challenging to come up with a cohesive design for this two tiered cake but after a few different sketches I had a plan.However plans do not always work out!  At one point I completely tore apart the top layer and started over!  I used a lot of fondant on this cake.  I also used gum paste for the swimmer and gel for the water.  Inside was a dark chocolate cake with butter cream frosting. 

You should have seen the smile on his face when he saw his cake!  It made my day!

Enjoy!
