The chocolate cake was baked in a Wilton wonder mold pan. The top was cut off and crumbled to place around the edges for ground beef. The tortilla chips are made of fondant and cookie crumbs. The tomatoes and olives are fondant brushed with tinted piping gel for shine. The lettuce is tinted coconut. For cheese, I placed tinted fondant in a crank-style cheese grater. The sour cream is just a wollop of buttercream frosting and the guacamole is the same only tinted and mixed with a couple reserved tomatoes.
This is my second lamb attempt. The first one's head fell off (after he was half decorated of course) because I underbaked it. So if you aren't using poundcake be sure to bake it for longer than the instructions say.
I didn't get to try out the piping gel transfer in Wilton 1 class 2 since I did a shaped cake instead. A Texan friend of mine was having a birthday so this gave me and excuse to try out piping gel transfer.
My second cake ever! We were celebrating an early Thanksgiving with some family members that we weren't getting to see on Turkey Day, and I was dying to try out this pan. The play on words "Beary Thankful for All Ya'll" gave me an excuse to use it instead of something Thanksgiving related. ;)
So it's not the greatest thing in the world, but I'm proud of it. Got the vintage Wilton pan at a yard sale for 25 cents! Can't wait to get into more advanced stuff.
