Description
Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, and marshmallow fondant. Yum!
I loved this design the minute I saw it, and new I had to give it a try.
Originally, I intended to make this a 3D cake, but disaster struck when I started to cover my carved pieces with the fondant. So I devoted the rest of the day to salvage and managed this in about three hours [plus cooling time].
I'll admit I took a few artistic liberties with the design, as my tools were fairly limited [broke college student, yes I am].
I printed the design and cut out the characters to use as templates, then cut them out of fondant. The mammoth is covered with toasted coconut for fur.
By the time I was finished, I couldn't even think about eating any, but my friends enjoyed it!
