This was a cake for my father-in-law. He builds muzzleloaders and is a big Revolutionary War buff. This was taken from a photo of him in his colonial garb and the muzzleloader is loosely based on one that he built. The cake he is sitting on is based off another colonial hat he owns. I have yet learned how to smooth the buttercream icing and how to prevent the gumpaste from cracking. Remember, I am just a beginner.
