I was asked to make this cake to be auctioned off at an annual weekend rodeo. The cake is a 12 inch chocolate cake iced in buttercream with fondant accents. The buckle is fondant with a royal icing horse and gold dragees. The humidity was awful and the hat would not dry so it really doesn't look like a cowboy hat. The boots are made from a mold and dusted with cocoa powder and gold dust.
