Good Day, Gurus! My mother, who is a deep, tried and true southerner has a birthday soon. I would like to make her a fried chicken cake (maybe a KFC bucket or similar), and need help with the fried chicken design. I see an example in a cake photo on this website, but it does not include technique. I read some use corn flakes or similar, but I am not certain how to attach, and what should be the surface to which they are attached. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
