Big Bird Cake

It's been a while eh? So sorry! Life is crazy. Here is the latest and maybe not the greatest!!

I made this for my son's 3rd birthday. I had wonderful visions in my head, it didn't quite translate but...I guess you can tell what it is, right??






I just baked the cake in a glass bowl. Covered it in frosting and then in dyed coconut. I found huge jawbreakers at Macey's in the bulk food section and covered the top half with pink fondant. Used blue piping gel for the line and black gel for the pupils. I used 2 sugar cones and kind of "sculpted" them with a really sharp serrated knife (kind of tricky...they break easily!!) so that they fit together to kind of form a beak. Covered it in fondant and then used small triangles of fondant for the inside of the beak and the tongue. There you go.....


I kind of thought this picture was funny. Huge eyeballs and crumbs... hehe!
