This cake was for my dad's 53rd party. The idea behind it is a catfish so big that it takes a tractor to pull it in! Little black Scottie dog sitting on the tractor. My dad can usually be found working as a fishing guide or pushing dirt somewhere on his tractor. Flavor for the top was a recipe I modified of Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla cake with strawberry cheesecake filling. Bottom layer is black walnut with black walnut icing. Cake covered and decorated in MMF -except brown is Duff Goldman chocolate fondant. Tractor and fish were both RKT covered in MMF. Black on tractor is Duff Goldman fondant and gumpaste. Fish painted with petal and luster dusts. Chain is a necklace I purchased. Signs 50/50. Rocks are made out of hardened boiled sugar and royal icing mixture and dirt is chocolate cereal. Cattails made out of spaghetti noodles and Duff Chocolate fondant.
