I was asked to try to do this cake for a friend's surprise 50th Birthday party. I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, I haven't done anything like it , nor have I done that many cakes. After 2 full days of working on this cake plus the Dukes Of Hazard cakes in the same week and 2 hours of sleep I think the deer head turned out pretty well. Antlers are dark chocolate fondant formed around #9 electrical wire and the wire stripped down to form the tines wrapped around the insulated wire part. Head is tin foil formed to look like a deer head and I brushed 2 layers of candy melts and a layer of buttercream and a layer of fondant. The chest is all cake. I did have a probelm with keeping the santlers up so I had to use sticks to keep them up. I also would probably form the antlers when I was ready to form the head and add fondant all at once. I formed the antlers 2 days before I did anything else for the cake.
