This is the cake I made for my father-in-law's 90th birthday. It's the same concept as the previous cake (the Chinese New Year cake.) Inside is chocolate cake with cherries and stabilized whipping cream covered by chocolate ganache. The sides are individual panels of royal icing. The top is a replica of his ham radio tower made from skewers and toothpicks. The base is a granite tile which I have adopted as my newest cake platter.
