Blackjack Birthday

Blackjack Birthday Cake

This blackjack birthday cake was for twins who where turning 21. Their parents are taking them to Las Vegas for their birthday so they wanted to get them a casino themed cake. I immediately thought of blackjack since that is 21! I made the cake a hexagon and covered it in black and green fondant to look like a poker table. I then used edible images to decorate each face of the hexagon. Blackjack cards, a welcome to Las Vegas sign, and two Dos Equis bottles did the trick. I purposely chose Dos Equis beer since the cake was for twins. I finished off the top of the cake with some fondant poker chips, making two $10 and one $1 to add up to $21 for each of them.
