"Tom" is no longer 49

I have done this design several times.  Its always a hit for those celebrating those big birthdays when youth is a by-gone age.  

The cake is baked in a long loaf pan and the top half is cut away for the opening.  The open coffin lid is done in pastillage and the birth year passing is done in fondant as well as the pillow.  The coffin handles and lilly's are gumpaste. 

The first layer of cake is covered in a ruffled buttercream and the coffin is covered in a dark chocolate fondant. This will served 30 guest.  Happy 50 Birthday Tom.
