Ilan's rock star cake

Ilan the rock star turned 6 this weekend so naturally he requested a rock star birthday cake. His mom isn't a big fan of lots of food coloring, so I kept it simple. 12" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and fresh strawberry filling, minimal color in the decorations, all of which can be easily removed and hidden away from sugar seeking kids while the cake's being cut.
Everything handmade from gumpaste and fondant. The moisture on the cake was condensation - cake spent the night in the fridge and the morning in my warm-ish kitchen. It went away eventually:)
