What do you do when someone asks for a cake featuring "a shrimp, a brat, an ear of corn and a red potato"??? You make them out of gumpaste, of course!

This has to be the strangest cake request we've ever had, but it was a lot of fun to make! :) The theme was the Mexican "Day of the Dead" celebration (even though the customers are not latin at all, they just like it!) The coffins are made of cake, iced in BC. The base, backboard, skeletons and wires holding the cross and flags are the only non-edible components. The dirt is oreo crumbs, the skulls are fondant/gum paste and everything else is gumpaste (even accents on the skeletons). 23"x14"x12"
The bottom tier (12") is a white chocolate cake with white chocolate and rum mousse and fresh strawberries. Middle tier (9") was a chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache filling, and the top tier (6") was an orange-pineapple carrot cake with orange cream cheese filling, all wrapped with MMF. MMF, Gumpaste and SatinIce were used in the decorations.
Two-layer cake with buttercream basketweave sides. The 'grass' was done with Wilton's grass/hair tip, and the flowers were done in gumpaste.
I was going crazy trying to do a cake for a friend's July 4th birthday, so I came to CakeCentral to try and find something I could do. I found Bethroze's "Patriotic Star" cake and just LOVED it. You can see the cake here: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_49462.html Thank you, Bethroze, and thank you CC!
