Hollywood birthday cake

This is a birthday cake I had on order and what has been taking most of my time recently on top of work.

They asked me for a walk of fame star with the birthday guy's name on the star and 40th on the round bit. I looked at many photos and it took me a while to figure out how to make the detail on the slab. I thought that dessicated coconut would to the trick. I tried to get as close as I could. In the inside they asked me for a rainbow, which was tricky because it was a 14" cake and if I made the layers too thin, they would break. The result was a massive cake.

Now, when they collected the cake, they seemed ok with it. However, after enquiring whether everything was fine with the cake, I have received no answer, which is making me a bit worried....

Ok, the star is not exactly as the stars on the walk of fame slabs but I tried to get as close as I could. As for the cake inside, I was happy with the colours of the rainbow, the final result and the taste. So, I'm not too sure... Never mind... maybe I worry too much...

I've been backblipping a few entries. Glad to be off Thursday and Friday :)

Thanks very much for all your lovely comments, stars and hearts over the last few days. I'll get back to you as soon as I get a moment.
