Retirement Cake
11x15 base. I baked the mug in a soup can. Buttercream everything except the golf balls and mug handle. Handle-foamcore covered in buttercream, golf balls- plastic :) . Airbrushed. I didn't put any support under the mug because I didn't think it was that heavy, but it feel over on the way delivering it, so I had to go home and make another and put support under it. Luckily, I had baked 2! Lesson learned- better to be safe than sorry!!
WOA, that is lucky! It came out very nice, though :)
Thanks!
The fish was made by carving an oval cake(the smallest pan) into the shape like the body. Then I took two of the scraps I cut off to make the tail( they were kind of flat curved outward pieces about an inch wide). Covered with buttercream, let crust, used a cookie cutter to make scales, airbrushed, then added fins and tail with a bigger basketweave tip, then airbrushed again!

Fantastic job!! How did you make the fish?
