Awesome Coors Light Birthday Cake

I am 16 years old and I made this Coors Light birthday cake for my older brother’s’ birthday. Mom said, “just make him a nice dessert,” but I was like “heck no!”

I have made it my job to create everyone in our family a birthday cake reflecting who they are. My brother has always been the picky type, so I couldn’t decide on that one thing that he really loved.

How I Made This Coors Light Birthday Cake

I wasn’t sure what to make so finally I starting by making two sheet cakes to work with.
Then, I just started cutting circles like a roll of candy or cola can… and then I was like “BOOM!” Coors Light.
Once I joined the circles to make the can, I was thinking that it was not near big enough, so I took the other sheet cake, covered it in fondant, and cut a hole in the middle just big enough to put the can in.
Once I got the can in, I made the label out of fondant.
I painted and carved out the logo and mountains, and placed it over the can, tucking it down the sides of the hole in the cake.
After the can was in place and covered, I also painted on the mountains and logo on the background which was the other 9 by 13 sheet cake.

I think that the funnest thing that I did on the cake was the label for the can, even though it took me 45 minutes. Once it was done though, I was like… “Dang!” I never knew I could do this.

I have always been the cake guru in our family, and even though it was tons of work, I think it was one of the funnest cakes I have ever done. When I brought it out for my brother, he was shocked. I joked around and asked him if he knew what it was. He was so happy that he jumped up and gave me a hug while everyone else stood around like CNN at the royal wedding, flashing pictures like they were going out of style. The way the whole family got excited about a cake was just awesome!
