My Crony
This is such a cute design; they really do look like best friends in the night.
I started with two 9" rounds of a yellow French Vanilla cake with extra pudding. The filling/frosting is chocolate decorator icing and Nutella spread, then I used dark brown fondant to wrap around the sides of the cake. For the moon, made a flat round mold (using a pie pan) of solid white chocolate and secured it directly on top of the cake with white buttercream. Since my airbrush needs a break (and a good cleaning after making other Threadcakes) and the gel colors didn't adhere well to the chocolate alone, I rolled out and tore pieces of white fondant then painted on the black and yellow colors. For the owl I used black and white fondant mostly, piped on orange tinted white decorator icing for the beak and legs, and used a toothpick dipped in Sky Blue Wilton gel icing for the chest/breast feathers. The little white stars are individually placed sprinkles.
This cake was baked and stored on the first day, then frosted and decorated on a separate night, which took about 4-5 hours total. I was essentially the third "crony" baking like a nightowl in the wee morning hours.
