Description
I thought I'd try my hand at a themed cake...
I absolutely LOVED this design on Threadless.
I decided to go with a mini-cake, as I thought it would be awesome if the puppets were close in size to the cake itself. I used a cake mix and store bought fondant (I tried making fondant but it was waaaay to sticky). I layered three layers of the cake with vanilla frosting and covered the whole cake with fondant.
I made the puppets out of fondant and used black food coloring to make the details (notice how some of it smeared on my girl-puppet's face..:(.
I made the heart out of cinnamon Twizzlers, it took me the better part of an hour.
It didn't turn out exactly as I had pictured it, but it was a lot of fun to make...
