How cute! Very creative solution to your near cake disaster.

This cake is really something...I love your creativity and he's just perfect!

Wow!!! I agree that's it's very creative!!! LOVE THE IDEA!!! Into my fav's it goes! :wink:

That is so cute! He's great!!! How did you do the wings?

I already had a few pairs of wings I had made for another project using directions from MarthaStewart.com (search for "Flying Place Cards"). Each wing is basically constructed of a bent bamboo skewer and black tissue paper. Since the skewer has a pointed end, you can stick the wings into almost anything. But you could also make some edible wings using skewers and gum paste, I'd imagine.

This has got to be the cutest cake I've ever seen!!! I just love cute bats!!!

lol- this is an awesome save! great recovery!!

very cute! :)

Wow! Thanks for all the compliments, guys! To answer a few questions: the black and orange border is actually made of store-bought Hershey's Kissables (mini kisses with a candy coating) that I simply lined up along the edge. *Very* easy. As for the cake, I used a packaged mix (Betty Crocker Devil's Food) and poured it into three 8-inch disposable aluminum pans. I leveled the bottom two layers but kept the top one rounded to give it the shape it has.

he is great! i want to try it!!

O thats precious!

Too too cute!

Aww! As cute bats go...he takes the cake! :)

I love it! Great job!
