The Ole' Ball n Chain.....This was for a grooms cake which was served at the rehearsal dinner. The grooms cake is a long standing tradition in Europe and has now become popular in the USA.
The cake is generally something to do with a hobby or sport of the groom, in this case the mother of the groom placed the order and she requested a ball-n-chain. She loves her new daughter-in-law but she thought this would be funny...
The cake was to serve 50 guest. It is red velvet with cheesecake filling. I used four 10" layers of cake and carved the ball. It was then covered in a thin layer of buttercream and chilled overnight. The morning of the party, I covered the ball in white fondant and distressed the outside to look damaged and used. The finish was airbrushed in black. The chain and cuff where made of gumpaste over a period of several weeks.
