I had a groom order a wedding cake fashioned after Minas Tirith! For those of you who don't know what that is, I included a pic. Wow...this one was a challenge. icon_smile.gif Rock jets are card board covered in fondant. The rest is bc made to look like rock (not smooth) and fondant accents.

Lots of fun to make...

Here's the image the groom came up with for me to work from:

I think I came pretty close!

Thanks for looking.

I charged $100. A little high IMO.

It is a 10" dummy, one layer of the following 8-6-4-2.

So not really that much cake. I calculated it out, it only was 4 hours of "work".

Thanks for the compliments!
