This was a joint birthday cake I made for my in-laws who love bird watching and gardening. It was somewhat last minute because my husband and sister in-law couldn’t make up their minds on a theme, and we celebrated at our Thanksgiving dinner get-together. It wasn’t an easy task putting this and several side dishes together AND transporting it all to the party in an SUV that I’m pretty sure hit every bump and pothole in our lovely Michigan roads! It was delicious though! It was a 3-layer vanilla cake with eggnog cream cheese frosting. All decorations are fondant and gumpaste,
