Ruffles Potato Chips
2 8x12's, stacked and carved to make the bag. Iced in buttercream, the blue was airbrushed on, and the red is fondant. The chip/dip image was traced onto an EI and painted using dry petal dusts and food markers. The chips are candy clay and the edges were dry brushed with 'flesh' powdered food coloring. I used tappits (SP??) for 'original'.

This cake has an internal support structure using a wooden dowel attached by a screw to the baseboard and another piece of wood at the top of the dowel to support the head. I learned this technique from Roland Winbeckler's book (can be found on his site). The bill is made of styrofoam and covered with fondant but the rest of the cake is iced in buttercream.
