For my husband's 70th Birthday. Bottom tier is Chocolate Devil's Food sandwiched with fudge sauce and vanilla fudge butter icing. Words around the bottom read 'Rock Around The Clock'. Top tier is carrot cake sandwiched with cream cheese icing. Clock is set to 10 to 7 to try to indicate 70. Centre of the clock is a small record. Two electric guitars copied from his Fender Stratocaster. Accents made from black Mexican Modelling Paste and the cake is covered in white fondant. Cake board covered in black Satinice to represent a vinyl LP (anyone remember those?) and stamped with musical notes, rock n roll song titles and a few stars.

oh , thank you Katy , ill give that a try nx time I need letters or # 's
Sorry, yes they are tappits! The trick is to cut a square of fondant, just big enough for your letter. Press hard and wiggle it about so it's cleanly cut. Lift it off the icing and the letter will stay in the tappit most likely (it should do). Hold one end nearest to you and then flick the other end onto a firm surface. The letter will pop out as long as you have greased or floured your cutter properly. It may take a few flips but I am getting the hang of them now.
I have them tappits , eeeerrrr I can never get them to work ,
; ) cool a sing along !!!
Haha Gail - singing along with you. Anything to get Hotel California out of my head (don't ask me why it's there).
June the letters were done with black Mexican Modelling paste with the Funky Alphabet letter press set. I have had trouble with those in the past, but I dusted them with cornstarch first (dealt with the white marks on the paste afterwards with vodka) and they came out perfectly with only a few that were tricky.
awesome job , that's so cool , love it , now you have me singing that song ! lol
Your letters are so crisp & clean Katy...... how did you do that?? :o)
