Question by ? Mrs. Graham ?: Help w/decorating cake ideas for 40th birthday (80′s themed party)?
My sister’s 40th birthday party is coming up and it’s an 80′s themed party. Her colors are black and pink. She has asked me to do the cake, I’m not a professional by any means, but I’ve dabbled in it a little bit. I have a few questions…
1.) What should I write on the cake? It’s an 80′s themed party and she wants a snazzy saying, like instead of putting Happy 40th Birthday.
2.) Her colors are pink and black. I need some decorating ideas (pictures would be great). I am using fondant and I know with fondant you have to use a buttercream “crumb” coat underneath, is it OK if I use chocolate buttercream, or will the chocolate show through the fondant b/c the fondant is going to be white.
All ideas are appreciated and thanks so much for your help!

Stop in at a bakery at the grocery store or at a bakery shop and look at their book for ideas. Sounds like it may be easier to just order one. If sis wants a snazzy saying ask her what it is she has in mind.
Happy Birthday always works and if your taking the time to make it I am sure she would be happy and if not than she sure is not someone I would be making anything for.
