I made this cake for the 2010 WASSA Cake Show and Sugar Artists Competition. It was my first time entering a cake in a competition and the first time I had made this particular cake. It ended up taking home Best in Beginner's Division, Best in Novelty/Sculpted and Best in Show, Runner-up! I was very excited to do so well at my first competition!

Everything is entirely edible and made with either gum paste, fondant and royal icing. The dirt was a mixture of oreos, graham crackers and sanding sugar.
