Whisky Barrel Cake
A Maker's Mark themed whisky barrel groom's cake. It is about 10" tall and 10" wide. It is two tiers of cake, each on their own board. The middle black band hides the seam where they meet. It is frosted in buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant. The fondant for the barrel was gently carved to look like wood planks, then painted with brown and black icing color mixed with vodka to add texture and sheen. The red "wax" is red fondant. The name was stenciled on with a custom made stencil made using "Old Rubber Stamp" font. The circle portion of the logo was made to match the Maker's Mark logo... but has a "P" for their last name, and XV for '15... 2015. This is a very heavy cake, so I placed 3 dowels through the entire height of it, and through the bottom board, to help hold it steady.
