The tower was covered in MMF and the details were gumpaste. I used a cobblestone mat for the tower, then covered it with more MMF colored to match the stucco (whatever the tower is). To get the aged effect I balled up a piece of aluminum foil and went over the MMF with it. I then took a paper towel and dipped it in brown food paste and water to help the coloring of the tower. The biggest job was the roof shingles. For the hill I used to small bowls that I baked cake in. I finished the cake and tower with some buttercream decorations and went over the edge of the cake with rosettes. The birthday girl loved it!
I also made some magical flower punch. I took a container of frozen lemonade, another of frozen pineapple juice, a 2 liter of sprite, water and star ice cubes. It was delicious! I also did the jello boats, but I ran out of time to make the sails. I thought they were still cute. I also had our party staples of fried rice and pizza.
Overall it was a lot of work and I wish I would've managed my time better, but in the end we had a great party. I loved taking the theme and bringing it to life!
What a different cake idea! There are so many New York venues located at the outskirts of the city. Will book one of the affordable ones for my brother's engagement party soon. Date is not yet finalized but maybe it is in the next month. Saw many solitaire band ring designs also. Hope the day is enjoyed by our beloved couple.
