This cake was made for a very nice gentleman, he grew up raising crops. Loves collecting tractors.

The bottom tier of the cake represents his life on the farm. It is colored blue and orange to represent the sun setting over the wheat field.

This second tier represents his old age, wisdom and care for those around him. It is represented in the style of an old tree stump. Within the tree stump you will find an owl. This owl represents the wisdom that comes with age. On the stump you will also find mushrooms and moss growing along the outside. These items represent the additions of younger generations. The tree stump also protects the Owl. As we need protection as we age, the owl needs protection from the elements.

The third tier serves as a base for his other passion…collecting tractors and acting as young as he can. The top of the cake is an edible model of one of his hobby tractors.

First time, I’ve done Realistic tree bark with edible moss on a cake by using chocolate frosting.

The top and bottom tier, are covered with buttercream.

The entire cake is stunning and each tier on its own is beautiful, but I’m in love with that gorgeous wheat field. The colors give the feeling of endless open space.
