This cake was based on the idea of creating a cake that looked a lot like the surface of a circuit board.  The cake was made for my boyfriend, a web developer and lover of all things technology. 🙂

White cake & chocolate buttercream were layered under this fondant covered cake.  Royal icing, dyed a light lime green color, was used to carefully pipe the straight(ish) lines you see on the cake.  The circuits, chips, LEDs and batteries were cut out from fondant and adhered to the cake. Silver pearl dust by Wilton provided the metallic coloring.  A dot of red icing lit up the LEDs! 🙂
