Thirty, Not Flirty!

This is a cake I did this weekend for Jesse's surprise 30th birthday party.  Man cake-- so tricky!  His wife, Angel, sent me some ideas of cakes that she liked in tones of silver, gray, and black, and asked to add in some blue as well.  I think the color combo worked out GREAT!
The entire time I was making it, I kept forcing my husband to come in so I could say, "Does this still look like a man cake?  Is the silver sparkle too much??"  His response, and another reason why I love him, "That's not silver sparkle!  That's STEEL!" We'll go with that!

Bottom tier is sour cream pound cake with alternating raspberry mousse and fresh raspberries.  Top tier is chocolate cake with mocha filling.

Happy birthday Jesse!
