Artists Manequinn

I did this cake last week last minute for my daughters' Graphic Art's class. One of the Seniors was having his 18th birthday and the teacher decided that it would be fun to celebrate it in class. It was also a chance for my daughter to show off her mom's "art" talent, that she's been talking about all year. The principal saw us bringing it in and gave us the "Royal treatment", showing it off to the office staffers and then a personal escort to the class for presentation. The artists mannequin is chocolate modeling clay and the sketchbook is rice cereal treats covered in fondant. The top page is gumpaste, dried and then hand sketched by my lovely daughter with edible paint. The sketch pencil is made of modeling clay too. The "book" is red velvet cake with chocolate mousse filling and covered in fondant. It got a little dinged up on the ride there, but no one seemed to notice. I had fun making it anyways, and I think I like this chocolate clay thingy!! LOL TFL
