My grand daughter asked for a horse cake for this birthday. She wasn't satisfied with just a horse figure, but instead, wanted a horse made out of cake. (One of these days she's going to ask for the moon!) I made the body out of cake, but due to weight issues, the head is carved styrofoam, covered with Modeling chocolate. I also used MC for the legs, but the mane, tail and rope were fondant. I was too scared to use my new airbrush for the first time on this cake, so settled for dusting it instead.
