Dominican Themed Cake

This is what I call "Dominicano hasta la tambora"!  This client called me and asked if I could do a Dominican themed cake.  She sent me a picture of the invitation she had made for her husband's 35th birthday.  I'm happy she sent this to me because the only thing that popped in my head was the flag. lol!  I got inspired by the instruments that actually make the sounds and rhythms of D.R.'s music; una tambora (drum), una güira, (don't ask, it looks line a grater to me), and an accordion.  With these three instruments you can play the oh so popular merengue.  So I pulled up some pictures from the internet of these items and went to town with my MMF with Tylose and created the flag, and instruments.  Then the client called me and asked me to leave space on the cake for a "diablo cajuelo".  I had no idea what that was.  I just heard "diablo" and I was bent of of shape, but a good friend of mine told me what it was.  It is a person dressed as a diablo or demon and comes out at the dominican carnivals.  I left the space for her to add it.  Anyway the cake's flavor is dominican with almond chantilly filling.  Delicious!!!!!  When the client picked up the cake, she was really pleased and I was happy...and here it is...
