Summer in Paris

This is a graduation cake for a young man who was headed to Paris for vacation.

The cake is a three tier triangle shape with all tiers flush to the back.  The flavors are, bottom white with strawberry compote, the middle chocolate with chocolate hazelnut mousse, and the top is pina colada with pineapple and coconut cream.  I covered the cake in fondant and airbrushed the sky.  The day before,  I piped the Eiffel Tower in sugarveil and allowed it to air dry so that it would be a little stiffer than normal.  After airbrushing the sky I placed the Eiffel Tower in place and hand-painted the details. 

                                         The top was a blue gumpaste peony and a fondant poodle.

Around the other two sides of the triangle are all representation of France.  The top and bottom tiers were royal frosting stencil work and the cottages in the middle were hand-painted fondant for the French countryside.  I used a fondant (French) braid around the bottom of each tier to finish off the design (lol)
