Summer Cakes!

The first cake of the summer that missed out on being posted was one I did for My Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Robert. They decided to do a hobbit birthday, at which the birthday guests receive gifts from the birthday person instead of giving them. I spoke with Cheryl about what they would like for the cake. Robert wanted chocolate cake and Cheryl wanted carrot cake. This gave me the idea of doing two sides of the cake. One side a grassy meadow (the carrot cake) and the other side a dirt field or garden (the chocolate cake) with a hobbit house connecting the two cakes. We stuck with a lighter green cause green food coloring is not good for furniture and also its not that pretty to have a green mouth,tongue and teeth. I wasn't exactly sure how much cake to make and decided it was better to have to much then to little. Here is the sketch I drew up

And this is the finished cake- as always I wish I could make cakes full time so I could have those extra few hour to do little details and clean up edges and such.
