Beauty and the Geek Dining in Cake

Here is another cake done for the TV themed spouses dining in.

This table's theme was Beauty and the Geek. The beauty part was pretty easy, but the geek bit was a little thought provoking. I got some physics equations from one of the participants and used a frosting pen to write them on the fondant.

This was also the first time I'd done a 3 tiered cake. There was not too much trouble with the stacking, but about an hour after stacking the whole thing a HUGE air bubble appeared on the bottom tier. It was like a large boil...ugh.

Here is a detail of the little bird I made to represent the "beauty" side of the topper.

For the "geek" side I downloaded a robot cubee from this site. I also used some of these on my daughter's Star Wars themed birthday cake.

This cake had white confetti cake as the first and top tiers, and plain white cake as the middle layer. The pink fondant was strawberry marshmallow fondant, and the others were plain marshmallow fondant. And I think the decorations were made with gum paste, I can't really remember.
