This cake was made for a civil engineer. His friend wanted something to reflect his profession. I pitched this idea to him and he bought it. This is a cake I love very much because it shows off my artistic side. It also allowed me to try out some new cake decorating techniques. The feedback was amazing!

The cake is a 6 inch high chocolate butter cake frosted with chocolate buttercream.

In front of the concrete block is a trowel made out of fondant. A tutorial for how to make this can be found here.
