Fireman's Helmet Birthday Cake

This was quite the challenge, albeit a fun one (as always!) Someone wanted to re-create her Fiance's helmet out of cake to celebrate his Birthday so that's what we did! She sent me pictures of his helmet for me to go by (taken in secret of course!) The cake was red velvet with vanilla buttercream filling and crumb coat covered in black fondant to match his helmet and all the details are fondant as well. I used a little yellow luster dust to try to match the reflective patches on his helmet and even added the Tarheel sticker on the back of his helmet as well! Hope this cake made his Birthday an especially memorable one! :o)
