Seems like the majority of cakes that I do are geared more toward the girls than the boys – you know, like polka dots, bows, and colorful zebra prints.
Not this cake. It’s lean and mean and dirty and green.
In a good way.
Meet the Gator Boys.
I hand-sculpted these lovely lizards using a combination of fondant and rice cereal treats.
Take it from me. There are a lot of little scales on those gators’ backs. It took me about one hour to complete each alligator.
Once I had the gators looking the way I wanted them, I finished them up with the airbrush.
Obviously, the alligators were the focus of this cake, but I added a few swampy details to give the cake some more character.
No swamp scene would be complete without a snake…
…and a turtle.
This was an 11x15 single layer cake that served approximately 30. The cake was iced with buttercream, and the details were hand-sculpted from homemade fondant. Except for the stems of the cattails, the entire cake is completely edible.
