I love the cake by jf, it's the deer head mount...but I would LOVE to know how she created the background. Any ideas on how to acheive such a realistic 'camoflage' affect? I need to do a cake like this for tomorrow night...any help would be greatly appreciated!
her picture is in the album animals...it's really great!

When I had to do a camo cake for a groom's cake I used black, tan and moss green. I just made almost like puzzle pieces and smooth them with cornstarch. It's hard to explain, you can look in my photos, it's the one that is a 10 in round, deer hunter cake. ( I don't know how to post links)

Okay, tell you what I ended up doing...
I wanted a more muted camouflage background...so I used juniper green icing and iced the whole cake (12x1
. Then I darkened some icing darker juniper, brown and tan. took some of each and just using a small spatula, smeared it all on top of the light juniper green randomly. Then I smoothed my icing with a paper towel, took some different shaped plastic/silk leaves from different arrangements in my house (stole one leaf of each variety), using those as a pattern 'press' and pressed the shapes randomly into the icing. Then I built the deer on top of that cake...I'm going to upload it now, so it will be in my photos...it got a rave review and I was proud of it, but I think I got his neck a little too big.
