Tabasco Cake

Tabasco Cake on Cake Central

This is the groom's cake that went with the tulip cake. I did a post a couple weeks ago asking how to do a bottle shaped cake. Thanks to everyone for the help! The chili peppers are fondant with gumpaste tops. The writing I did with the foodwriter pens. I messed up the fondant a little bit when I put it on, and I'm not real happy with how I painted on the red gel, but now I know what not to do!

Hey Doug! It's thanks to your diagram and suggestion of the round cakes that I did this! The lettering is not freehanded. I found the graphic online and enlarged it and printed it out. Then traced onto parchment and then put that over a square of fondant and marked with a toothpick. After I wrote on the fondant, I placed it on the cake.
