Happy Birthday Scott

Today is my neighbor Scotts 50th birthday.  His wife is throwing him a surprize party at the Providence Club.  His co-workers, neighbors and friends will be helping him celebrate this much dreaded birthday.
With lots of good food, beverages, music and a great slideshow of their life together we made Scott feel much better about turnning 50.
Now of course he had to have a whimsical cake.  Norma did not want the usual over the hill or grim reaper.
So I had to come up with another idea.
Well we all know things do turn to crap at some point so I figured 50 was as good a number as any.
 Hmm bathroom scene sounds good to me.  Plunger,toliet paper,tile floor oh yes all we needed here was a toliet and a magazine.  It turned out to be a great cake!
Everything you see here was completely edible except the wooden handle
on the plunger and the small roll of toliet paper.
The cake was vanilla covered in buttercream with fondant tiles.  The plunger cake was chocolate covered in red fondant with a wooden dowel inserted for the handle.
The larger roll of toliet paper was a vanilla cake covered in fondant and quilted to make it look as real as possible.  And the small roll of toliet paper was just paper roll covered in fondant. 
Not for eating just decoration.  Norma loved the Life Is Crap theme.
I also made chocolate almond cupcakes with a almond cream cheese frosting adorned with
50's made from melted chocolate.
I must say Scott was surprized and he couldn't get over his cake.  It was the hit of the party.
