The Death Of Youth

The Death Of Youth

This is a devils food single layer carved slanting on the edges and iced in chocolate buttercream. The dirt covering the cake is crumbled oreo pie crust which worked out really well because it can be gently patted into the icing and it will hold a shape (not roll off). The worms are gummy candy and the feet are fondant painted with gel color. The headstone is made of styrofoam sandwiched between two sheets of illustration board and the columns are from a wrapping paper tube,covered in contact paper.

North Carolina Tarheel Cake

North Carolina Tarheel Cake

This cake was inspired by other similar cakes I have seen on the internet. I can't name anyone specific. The ram is from a mini stand up bear pan with an iced, cut marshmallow hat. The foot was cut and sculpted from a rectangular pan. Of course, it is meant to be the bottom of the foot so you can see the tar on the heel. It is iced in buttercream with gel accents. The horns on the ram are fruit tootsie roll. The UNC flags are paper of toothpicks.
