birthday cake

I decided to make an Indiana Jones hat-shaped cake for Titus. I didn't think to take pix until I was part way through putting on my crumb coat, but at least you can get an idea of how the cake is put together. It is going to be a neapolitan cake - strawberry and vanilla cakes with chocolate frosting. I also braided a whip out of black licorice and will place them on a map for the centerpiece...should be pretty cool. I'll add some more pix tomorrow as I comes together.
