This cake was a learning experience. Never color your own black and red fondant!! I couldn't tell you how much coloring I used on this cake. Next time I will buy the fondant pre-colored. I also learned what a great help my husband is! LOL He made the flames for me. I did have fun with the skulls and bones. Can't say the same for the chains. Of course I only had 2 days to get everything done and I still have to learn to be fast. I'm pretty slow. :o)
