Divorce cake

This was my first time making a divorce cake. I started with a chocolate sponge, which I covered in chocolate fudge icing and topped with a layer of white royal icing. After chatting with my friend about the decoration she'd like on it, we decided to go with a pretty girly wonderland theme on the top and then a dirty scruffy gutter scene on the bottom. I made some legs out of black icing, which I stuck at the base of the cake, so it looked like the cake had been splattered on top of the ex husband. I made some dustbins and stuck the wedding and engagement ring out the top of them. I also made some t-shirts and a broken guitar out of icing, and stuck them to the floor near the dustbins. For the top, I punched out some flower and butterfly shapes and painted them in pink, with a dusting of edible glitter all over the top. The finishing touch was the words 'up yours' in bright pink along the front of the cake, dusted in glitter too.
