Go Gators

Go Gators on Cake Central

Four Foot Gator. Made with creamy white cake and covered in fondant. Would have been easier with an airbrush! I'm getting one soon!Maybe then I'll be able to get the shading like ellepal's!

Thank you all! Yes, this is my first alligator. I traced a pattern out of freezer paper amd then cut my cakes out. Once they were on the board I carved it. Then I iced it and covered in fondant. To make him shiny I misted him with a spray bottle filled with water.
