Brendan just turned 9 and apparently really likes cool old things, like pocket watches. His grandmother lives next door to me and came over a few weeks ago to ask whether I could create a pocket watch cake for Brendan's birthday - which was on Christmas Eve. I knew I had the date open, but I was somewhat stumped when I started of thinking of how to incorporate a pocket watch into a cake design. Brendan's grandparents had purchased a pocket watch for his birthday gift and gave me photos to work from. A pocket watch and the number 9 highlighted somewhere on the cake so it stands out - the rest was up to me.
I made Brendan's pocket watch out of gumpaste, using food coloring markers for the details and Styrofoam for the inside structure. The cake is my signature chocolate with cookie cream filling, topped off with vanilla buttercream.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDAN!
