Baron VonFunburger's Haunted Castle Cavalcade cake by Socrates Gavriel

Description

I saw this contest and went I can't design a T-Shirt but I can bake a cake. So I found The Baron VonFunburger design and ran with it. I have never worked with fondant before and made from scratch four batches of fondant, a double batch of marzipan, and six pounds of my buttercream frosting. I did the "Mummy burger" using the fondant which I found easier and cleaner to work with than frosting and then did out strips and two dots for his eyes. I did all the condiments on the front with red food coloring and from there the rest of the designs stacked were all done with fondant and food coloring. Right before the "Filet-le-Fishman" I had to add 1 dowel and only one the cakes came out really well stacked on each other and my siblings and I ate most f the 2 and a half foot monster in a couple days. For your viewing pleasure "Baron VonFunburger's Haunted Castle Cavalcade" in cake form.
