John's cake

This year I decided to try my hand at making John a sculpted cake for his birthday. Let's just say those things are really time-consuming! Fortunately fondant keeps really well, so I didn't have to do it all at once. I worked on it a little bit for about 5 days.

Here is the cake transformation

Shhh, he's sleeping

The finished product!



I think he turned out pretty good for the first time. What do you think?

Jen, that's awesome! Looks like you are discovering a new hobby perhaps! I'm expecting a cake straight out of "Ace of Cakes" for my birthday next year. Can I have the Hogwarts one?
