Fish & Chips!

I attended the White Rose Cake Show and the PA ICES Day of Sharing this past weekend and was fortunate enough to take 2 classes with Janet Brown.  Janet specializes in 3D sculpted cakes that are airbrushed to look realistic.

My first class was a sculpted big mouth bass from chocolate cake covered in buttercream with fondant fins.  Not completely finished--that stare is a little....blank.....and he needs a few garnishes on the platter.....

My second cake was a bag of potato chips--again, chocolate cake covered in buttercream with a fondant "bag".  The chips are textured fondant.  This one, too, needs a few details to be completed--a few more chips and a label should do it.
These are just sooo much fun to do.  I'm getting the hang of the airbrush.......maybe the car could use a few flames on the fenders..........hmmmm.......
