This is my first attempt at a tiered cake. It was a lot easier than I was anticipating to actually tier the two cakes, but still a tricky experience to undertake. Joe is an experienced landscaper and irrigation professional who loves chocolate. So, it made since to use an irrigation piece for the 0 in 30 with some blue tinted piping gel as water around it. Leaves outline the top tier with kindergartner style trees on the sides. The top of the bottom tier is covered in green butter cream icing using a tip to create the look of grass, with a few red and white flowers randomly placed in the meadow. The sides of the bottom tier were simply frosted with chocolate icing and chocolate cake crumbs placed around as the border to resemble real soil. It was a lot of fun to make, but definitely stressful to deliver. I was so afraid something would happen on the ride it felt like 3 hours when in reality it was probably only 15 minutes away.
