New England Clam Bake

New England Clam Bake on Cake Central

Ok this is the first bucket type cake I have ever done. It was for a New England style clam bake dinner party. I had some issues with bubbling on the side where the lemon is and am not sure why. It wasnt a blow out per se just a pocket of air that kept developing at that one spot. At any rate, the cake board is covered in white fondant and the red squares are painted with food gel and vodka. The lemon, the corn, the bowl of butter, and the clams are rice cereal treats covered in fondant. The butter on top of the corn is just a glob of fondant, and the melted butter in the bowl is lemon jello. The clams were hand painted with brown and black food gel and vodka after being covered in a light gray colored fondant. The cake it self was a double chocolate cake that had been drizzled with kahlua. Yummy! Thanks for looking.
