I made this cake some years ago for my 35th Wedding Anniversary.
I celebrated with a jibaro wedding, (a jibaro is a
Puerto Rican peasant ) It was to honor my parents who
were married in P.R. in 1940, as well as to pay tribute to
my Puerto Rican heritage.
The cake has a house made to look like houses of that era.
My parents lived on a hill, and down the hill there was a
stream with a flamboyant tree near by, (a typical Puerto
Rican tree which is seen all over the island with its beautiful
red blossoms).
The cake was oval tiers, frosted in buttercream icing. Two were
yellow cake, , the top tier was a gluten free Italian cream cake,
so I could have my cake and eat it, too. The flowers were made
of royal icing and the rocks are made of fondant. The stream is
colored piping gel.
