Last year at Thanksgiving, I told my step-mom that I wanted to bake a 3D Christmas tree cake. From that idea, we began brainstorming of ways to actually get lights onto our concoction; lights that would actually light up. This year, Madison brought it to my attention that John Mayer was having a baking contest. SO- here is our result!
This is a 6 tier, 3-dementional cake that is completely edible except for the Christmas lights! My step-mom, Grace, Madison, and I created this in 7 hours. The ornaments on the tree (carefully hand constructed of fondant icing) represent events in John Mayer's career. They begin at the bottom with the Fender Strat, the first guitar, and spiral upwards including events such as his living in Atlanta, his attendance at Berklee College of Music, Grammy awards, the Mayer Craft Carrier, and peaking with the upcoming "Heartbreak Warfare" single. We entered our cake in John Mayer's 2nd Annual Baking Contest and sent pictures of it directly to the judge, John, himself! Although we didn't win, the experience and quality time spent together was definitely worth the while. We plan to enter again this Christmas with an even bigger and hopefully better cake!
