This cake was done many years ago but still requested on occasion. I made this using a football mold. the legs are buttercream covered straws. The crown was one that you could get from Wilton but has not been available for years. I ask for a very hefty deposit on the crown. The saying on the sign was one I heard many times in my childhood.
The cake is covered with buttercream. Hood is made of sugarpaste several days in advance. Pillow is fashioned from buttercream and covered with a piece of fondant. You can get fancy with the pillow with ruffles etc. around the edge. After placing the finished pillow, put hood on. Cut fondant blanket to fit up to the edge of the hood and around the sides of the cake. To make hood: use a round bowl, well corn starched. roll out sugarpaste in half circle pattern, place on bowl about 1/2 way, cut edging across and fold in back. Cut away any excess. must dry ovrnight. Gently pull away from bowl. Should be stiff enough to stand up by itself. Let dry few more days.
My first call for this fellow in years. All done in run sugar (flood work) and then hand painted with food coloring and a couple of drops of vodka.

Rats made of cake and covered with buttercream using grass tube I was grossed out doing the cake since it was my very first "gross" cake after 35 yrs. in the business. I got into it after awhile but the maggots still made me feel yucky.

I am not just a baker but I also do wildlife rehabbing. (baby squirrels and woodchucks) for NYS. You won't find blackbirds in a pie or even a squirrel tail but many cakes that might make you think so! This cake was made with love at a North Country Wild Care fund raiser a few years ago.
I love doing the gift boxes!
.I just love this mold and the possibilities. It is just too realistic.
