Outside Looking In!

Outside Looking In! on Cake Central

This rabbit wants in to that garden! It's a tropical carrot cake with cream cheese icing and gumpaste decorations, although the bunny is polymer clay. The "dirt" should really be black, but I didn't think chocolate went with carrot cake, so it's ground up ginger snaps instead. There's no real rhyme or reason for the design, I just have always wanted to make one of the garden cakes so took this opportunity!

The dirt color looks fine. I grew up in the country ... not all garden dirt is black! :) I admire the work that went into the detail of those veggies!

Absolutely perfect! I love how the rabbit is looking in at what he can't get. How did you make the popsicle sticks stay in place? Great job on the rabbit!

Thanks for your comments everyone - I love 'em! Indydebi - I know re: the dirt, but black would have made the veggies pop more. Ah well. tasty_treats I cut off the bottom inch or so of the popsicle sticks and just pushed them up against the icing. They didn't budge at all.
