Old School TV!

Old School TV!, originally uploaded by bakers-cakes.

I totally remember having an old school black and white television like this! Ours had black plastic trim, though! Then we had the one that had the dials and the buttons. (I could have sworn ours had dials too- and it was much smaller!)

The recipient of this cake used to own an electronics and television store! It is made out of his favorite coconut cake and vanilla buttercream, and covered with rolled fondant. I marbled chocolate and vanilla fondant to create the wood grain on the trim. What a fun way to celebrate an 80th birthday!
