| Yes it's fondant with Wilton black gel coloring, from the pooh colors assortment!
I used to decorate cakes a few years ago before I got hurt. I took all those fun courses and even used to dabble with wedding cakes. I miss the extra money! LOL
My husband helped me with the cake since I can't even roll out fondant anymore. Then he used a toothpick and we created Jack's face with a slight indentation and then I painted it in with a toothpick.
It's the first cake I have done since my accident 8 years ago. Our son was thrilled he was on cloud 9! |

| Fondont (spelling?) is a type of icing. You can roll it out and shape it. If you see a crazy shaped cake with icing, it's probably fondont as it's very sturdy (for lack of a better word) and can be shaped to anything. From my understanding it's very, very sweet.
That cake is awesome! I really wish I was that creative, alas the creative gene passed me over.

| | My mom used to do it. She took lessons for a few years, and was incredibly good. Alas, my talent lies in music and writing, not in drawing or anything artistic. I will have to look for fondant - can you buy it at Michaels? I know Alex would dearly love that cake. Leanne
