Martha's Going Away Cake

Martha recently landed her dream job in California...But she lives in New York.  So that means she had to say goodbye to all her friends and family, to make a new life across the country.  And what better way to say goodbye and good luck, then cake?

So cake is what I made.  She'll be moving to Wine country, so we went with a wine and grapes theme. The cake is chocolate almond with chocolate buttercream.  i piped the vines and grapes in Royal icing and made the Martha figurine of fondant and gumpaste.

There's a drop of blue berry jelly in her glass.  Good Luck Martha in your new life!
