H'ween Cake #1

H'ween Cake #1 on Cake Central

My son's sixth birthday cake. all the layers are chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling, it's covered in chocolate buttercream ... all the extras are made from handmade fondant. My hubby even got in on the action and made the VERY cool skeleton, green monster dude and ghost, he also made the door and windows on the house... I'm going to put him to work more often!

Hee hee... hubby usually likes doing clay/play-doh stuff with the kids, he had no idea how much fun fondant was! I had to actually make him STEP AWAY FROM THE CAKE! We were running out of time and he kept coming up with more ideas! The layers are 12", 8", 6" and the top/house layers are 4"... the rooftop is made from ice cream cones and royal icing. :)

Hey thanks! It was a lot of fun to make... and my son (and daughter) really enjoyed watching it go together. The rocks are marshmallow fondant, I just didn't knead the black coloring in all the way so they'd look marbelized.

Stunning! Great design and detailing on your son's cake. Your DH even did some outstanding work on the fondant peices. You & Hubby both should be proud, awesome cake! God Bless, Sharon

sounds like you definitely need to tap into hubbie's obvious mad skills more often! :) He did great, and so did you! I might just steal this idea for my halloween party, if you don't mind too much! :) Great job!!!!
