Hunting Themed Groom's Cake

It's so exciting when a bride-to-be comes to me and asks for a SURPRISE Groom's Cake! ..This particular cake was going to an avid hunter and is probably one of my favorite cakes to date. The tree stump is iced in buttercream and all of the accents are hand molded from marshmallow fondant. I airbrushed "sugar in the raw" and placed it around the base as edible moss. :)



 

Archery Birthday Cake

I love to browse around on www.cakecentral.com. While visiting, I discovered a painting technique used with buttercream. This is my second time doing this technique and was actually rather pleased how it turned out. In a nutshell, I base ice my cake, mix my buttercream colors on a painter's palette (used only for cakes), grab a paintbrush and start "painting" on my cake....   :)
