Blues Traveler Red Rocks 4th of July, V2.0 - 7/4/13 - Shows at Red Rocks are ethereal as a standard, but the 4th with Blues Traveler takes on an element that is so inspiring - see what they inspired me to do as a tribute in Cake. Here I present "Cat", the iconic BT logo, all dressed up in his Uncle Sam beetleback coat and musket for the 4th of July! The muscle man from this year's poster art & tent complete the circus feel. The top half of Cat's head & tent are filled with Chocolate Goddess Cake & Caramel which got demolished in happy fashion after the show. Happy 4th of July, and THANK YOU for having us back for a 2nd year!
WORK IN PROGRESS
Think of this cake as a complicated food safe stand with sugarpaste sculpture covering it and cake built on top. Thats exactly what this is, chocolate cake carved into a BLack Cat Jam Uncle Sam head, covered with fondant. Gumpaste details like the glasses, hat, and blunt were made before hand, as was the entire gumpaste body and held figure. The tent was carved freehand from a sketch, out of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. The tent had no supports, but the flags on top were attached to toothpicks. The lettering is hand-cut gumpaste allowed to dry hard. When we got backstage after the show they had already ripped his head off!!!! Lolz, Im always glad to see cake enjoyed! We served out the tent, and it was eaten down to the board
