Leopard Print 40th Birthday Cake

This cake was created for a 40th birthday celebration. First we covered the cake in gold fondant and airbrushed it metallic gold. Then we painted the leopard print pattern on the cake. The cake is topped with a black gumpaste stiletto shoe, a curly number 40, and swarovski crystals 'diamonds'. A red sash and bow is wrapped around the bottom of the tier.
