My husband is about to turn the big 3-0 and I've been giving him a hard time about getting "old". So I thought what better way to celebrate then with a Grumpy Old Men party! For his cake I decided to make a pocket watch cake.
The cake is made from a 8" round cake. It is a dark chocolate cake filled with a chocolate and banana butter cream then sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings. It was then covered in homemade marshmallow fondant. The nobbs and chain were also made of MMF. I then cute a 5" circel and handpainted the numbers. The 8" cake, clock hands and nobs were then paint with edible gold paint.
