Milwaukee Fire Department

My friend Jessica requested a Cake Mama cake for her husband's 20th anniversary party with his colleagues at the Milwaukee Fire Department. What an honor! She sent over some inspirational ideas and one picture had the Maltese Cross and the other was a cake filled with flames. I thought it fun to incorporate both for this cake. It needed to feed 60 people, so a sheet cake seemed the best solution.





The Maltese Cross and flames are made out of a gum paste/fondant mix and the rest of the cake is covered in buttercream. The left side of the cake is chocolate with chocolate ganache and caramel filling and the right side of the cake is a yellow cake with raspberry buttercream filling. I honestly don't know which side I would go for first!!

This cake was a huge honor for me to make and I appreciate ALL of the work the firefighters do for our community.
