Nonna's Venetian birthday

It was my mother-in-law's birthday, and her kids decided to have an Italian themed birthday party. She is from Treviso - near Venice, Italy. This is what I came up with for her. 6 and 8 inch cakes, buttercream frosting, and fondant details.
She knew that I was making a cake for her, but it was a surprise until after dinner. She loved it and started to cry - remembering her time growing up with her Nonna in Italy.
That is why I make cakes the way that I do :)

Oh, Jen! This is absolutely fanatastic! What a wonderful cake, not only for your incredible design and attention to detail, but for how much it meant to her. I just love this! Your talent never ceases to amaze me!
