I used pre-whipped butter cream from Sam's to frost the cakes. The cow print, belt, rope, belt buckle and star are all made of fondant. The belt buckle was a bit heavy, so I had to resort to toothpicks to hold it up! I used a bandana to cover the cake board, which is too small. I know!! But I have three or four cake boards out, so I didn't have the size I needed. I'm going to have to chase them down or get my hubby to make me some more.
The "1" is a large decorated cookie. I made it extra thick, and as soon I took it out of the oven, I inserted a loli-pop stick through the middle of it about half way up. After it cooled, it was anchored in there pretty good. I did use a dowel rod behind the cookie for support. It didn't really need it, but with a bunch of rambunctious kids constantly knocking the table, I decided we needed the extra stabilization!!
And here's the cute Birthday Boy with his daddy! He wasn't quite sure why he was the star of the show, but it didn't take him long to start playing the part!!
Happy Birthday, Peyton!!
GREAT CAKE! WISH I COULD HAVE SAW IT IN PERSON THOUGH... YOU KNOW HOW I LIKE TO SAMPLE... LOL
ReplyDeletewhat color clue did you use? I am assuming food coloring for the frostings?
ReplyDeleteI am wanting to try one of the two woody cakes you have here. Can you tell me did you start with white frosting and add food coloring?
ReplyDeleteYes, I started with white. I added several different blues to get what I wanted. Also, when using the butter cream from Sam's, you don't have to use as much color.
