Crown Royal 40th Birthday Cake

A dear friend of ours 'Jumbo' turned 40 this fall! So when his wife, a very good friend of mine, asked me to do a Crown Royal inspired cake, I jumped at the chance.
I will have to ask for some photos from the night as 'Jumbo' was given a cape made entirely of those purple velvet Crown Royal bags- it was truly a birthday fit for a king.


The top tier is vanilla with vanilla buttercream, the bottom tier is chocolate with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache- topped with a Crown Royal rice krispie bottle.
