I have to make a groom's cake at the end of November that is a deer head. Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a Basic idea...I'm still searching

Hmmm... I clicked on it and nothing came up. Thanks for looking.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

The link worked for me and I thought it was brilliant too.

OK...I got it to work from a computer. Just couldn't get it to work on my iPhone. Thank you so much.

I've made two of these so far...I stack round cakes for the neck, 6 or 8 inch depending on how big you make it. Next you will need to cut a piece of foam core, to describe it best i would say the shape of a bowling pin. The fat end going on top of the neck and then the skinny end sticking out. This will give you a platform for your head and nose. Stack cake on top of the platform and then carve to shape head. For the horns i made a skeleton out of wire and then covered with modeling chocolate. u could use fondant if you wanted. I will upload a pic of the most recent one i've done. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ooohhhhh....I would love to see a pic....please upload! I can't wait.

It was too big to put in the forum but i uploaded it to my photos....

Maybe you could do something like this & the antlers are rice krispie treats. turned out really good!

ok well it wouldnt let me put a picture on this...but you can go to my website & see my deerhead cake, mounted on a plaque.. my website is:

hope it helps a little!!

I just looked at your website and I couldn't locate the deer head.

It is on page 3, the 6th one. it has a little bit of the body with it. its carved.

I just looked at your deer head cake. It is super cute! However, I am looking for more of a 3D deer head design. I did notice you had a camoflauge cake though.....how did you do the camoflauge?

I just posted a deer head. Its not the greatest. If i would have spent more time on it. It was a freebie. I made the head out of rkt and modeling chocolate

I did one and I've only done a handful of cakes. I'm not sure if I would want to try one again. I don't have any directions but if you see my picture and like it just ask away and I'll try to help.

I just posted a deer and head in my photos and its 3d. You are welcome to take a look, if you still need to find something.
