Happy 50th to Me!

In case you didn't figure out what the 50 is for, it's for my 50th post! And since this particular cake is one that i have actually looked at before hoping that someday i can be good enough at cake making and decorating AND it has the number 50 on it, i thought it would be completely appropriate. I actually think that it looks pretty doable. Except for the base icing that is so perfectly smooth. there has to be an explainable trick! but the other stuff i know how to do.

The only problem with this cake is that i can't eat it :( nor would i want to!
