Happy 80th!

My Papa turned 80 the end of September and we all gathered to celebrate! For those that haven't had the opprotunity to meet him, he is an outspoken, got an answer for everything kind of man! He has a huge heart and all though he can push your buttons with his old cowboy attitude he definately means no harm. So I had this huge cake in mind. And I was so excited to make it. Mostly fondent, which is my favorite to decorate with. But, Papa insisted on Chocolate on Chocolate so last minute everything changed to what you see. Not my favorite work but my Papa adored it! And expressed his appreciation to the point of "that's enough already!" I love him so much and he now has cake to last a month!
