This was a carrot cake! I made a sheet cake and carved out the basic shape. I covered it in red fondant and then cut out all the shapes to form the letters, instead of trying to cut out the letters to form the NC. It took a while, but i think the overall affect worked out nicely.
I think it looks more then nice, it's great!!
NC State grad here and LOVE IT!!! going into favs my husband would die for a cake like this :)
