Sweater
The sweater was inspired by a man's sweater cake by Colette Peters. I "knitted" my own sweater for my mother-in-law by designing it first on paper according to the style she would wear and then when I liked the way it looked I transferred the design by "eye-balling" it. I made cross hatches for the diamonds first with a long clean ruler and carefully filled in each section with #2 tip in a continuous "C' motion. Then I added the "embroidered" flowers and collar design. Thanks for looking!

Turkey And Trimmings
I carved the turkey from pound cake. Iced in buttercream, textured the "skin" and airbrushed. "Corn" is pound cake carved in the shape of corn on the cob, iced in yellow and Jelly Bellies in various shades of yellow and cream were applied in rows for the kernels. Butter on top of the corn is Laffy Taffy cut into squares. Peas are Gobstoppers candy and carrots are orange starbursts cut into small squares. "Stuffing" is cake with green licorice "celery".
