Giant Hot Dog
This buttercream iced hot dog cake was carved from a single layer 16 inch round cake. Kim and I missed this order and hat to throw this cake together in just a little over an hour! Talk about stressful. After the cake was iced with buttercream I airbrushed on the color. My youngest daughter made the pickle slices for us while we iced the cake. the relish was made from chopped up fondant mixed into greenish tinted piping gel. I just wish I hadn't added all the mustard and ketchup...maybe just the mustard because you can't see all the "grill lines" that I airbrushed onto the hotdog. We purposly left some of the roughness on the buttercream covering the bun part of the cake to make it look more like real bread.

It is a two layer 11x15 cake with Shadow Grass camoflauge fondant overlay that is finished with airbrushing. The grass and cattails are gumpaste and the duck is carved from a pound cake and then covered with fondant and airbrushed. These are really popular with the duck hunting crowd around here.

Wild Hog
This Cake was for a hog hunter. I had pictures of real hunted hogs to look at while I decorated the cake. You could see the skin on the hog in patches through the hair and that is why I left patches uncovered on my cake too. The cake is carved from 2 11x15 chocolate stacked sheet cakes with the cut corners patched in for the snout and folded legs. The cake was then iced in buttercream with the hair piped on with a grass tip. Eyes were made from fondant and ears were gumpaste. The entire cake was then airbrushed with several colors.
