Retirement Cake

This was one of the first cakes I've ever made. I made this cake with Shashi, a co-worker of mine for our boss who was retiring! We were helping to throw her a huge party with about 70 guests. We made this out of chocolate and vanilla cake. I had made the stars a few days in advance so that the stars would harden on the wire.  We used gold duting powder for some of the stars as well as the middle layer, we also used silver powered for the rest of the stars. I have to say this was a very simple looking cake, but we were pretty nervous about it. It was for about 70 people to look at, we haven't been making cakes for too long, and it was one of the first cakes we have made on our own. I have to say, it turned out well all things considered!
