Eagle Scout Court of Honor


These cakes were made for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor. They are both 12" rounds; one is chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and the other is white almond sour cream cake with homemade lemon curd filling. They are iced in buttercream. The topper is a handmade Eagle Scout medal, the ribbon is fondant and the "metal" pieces are gumpaste, hand painted with food coloring and/or luster dust. The medals are laying on a piece of fondant used as a sort of handkerchief or piece of silky fabric.
