My oldest boy just turned 21. What to do for a fun, atypical male birthday cake. Once again, Debbie Brown came to my rescue! I just love her cakes and her instructions are so easy to follow!
What did I do - why the 21 bum salute! Debbie Brown is from England, for those who don't know. In England, they refer to the tushie, bottom, etc. as a bum. With her excellent instructions my son Geoff and I made 21 bums and designed underwear for each of them. This is the final product:
Bryan requested a strawberry chocolate marble cake - the easy part. As you know, I still have trouble with that darn fondant! The bottom two layers went on pretty well - for a change - but I still had puckers on that top layer. This is the better side, hence it is the front! LOL - its a work in progress - but when I compare it to my first fondant cakes, there is an improvement! I promise!
Anyway - back to the bums. These are basically fondant blobs that are rounded and then covered in fashionable underwear. Geoff and I spent the better part of a night making the underwear and trying really, really hard not to do the same designs. Things I never thought I would hear myself say - "Make sure the underwear is down low enough that you can see the bum crack"! Yikes! My favorite - the sexy little thong with the heart....
