Porcupine
The porcupine is a chocolate cake, baked in Wilton's Mini Wondermold pans. It's covered with chocolate frosting, fondant eyes, paws, and ears. The quills are made from Cadbury Flake Bars. The rest of the cake is a white cake covered with vanilla and chocolate buttercream. Thanks for looking! :)
I forgot to add, I got the directions for the porcupine from The Complete Book of Chocolate and 200 Chocolate Recipes by Christine France & Christine McFadden. Oh- and the butterfly is royal icing.
Another- I don't know what's up with the color. The ears and paws were made from the same color fondant, yet they look different shades in this picture! I guess I'm going to have to finally go ahead and read my camera's manual.
cool cake! :) :) :)
Thank you!
I love this cake. He looks more like a hedgehog than a porcupine, though. :D
Ha Ha!- Yeah, it does look more like a hedgehog. I think real porcupines don't have long quills all over, so that's probably why this one looks more like a hedgehog. I was tempted to title it "Hedgehog", but I thought his quills were too long to get away with that charade. :lol: Thanks!
