I have been asked to make a cake for my brother in law's 60th BD in Dec. He raises chickens and I would like to do a chicken themed cake. I am thinking of molding a chicken from fondant amongst other things (eggs, straw etc....), but am not terribly skilled at molding without instructions. Can anyone help me out with this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I did a similar cake for a 15 year old that raises chickens, WITHOUT the chicken. I used the Wilton egg pan to mold my eggs and then "glued" them with more candy melts so they were 3D. I know you can buy a chicken mold online somewhere because I looked, however it was about $75.00 (there goes your "profit"LOL). Last spring in a Martha Stewart Living magazine there was a picture of a chicken cake. It was Martha Stewart Living Mar or Apr? Sorry I can't be more specific, but, I haven't had a full pot of coffee this morning and thought processes are slow! GOOD LUCK!

or if in a slightly more dark humor mood:
do a variation of the "turkey cake" -- calling it a "chicken cake"
