Patriotic Birthday Cake

This cake wasn't actually meant to be a patriotic cake!  The person that ordered it asked for stars and confetti in red and blue, and wanted something for a New Years Eve birthday party.  Even though this was a New Year's cake, it could very easily be a cake for a patriotic holiday or for a serviceman.  This was a our Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with a Chocolate Ganache Filling with Classic Buttercream Frosting.  The confetti and stars are made of edible gum paste/fondant.
