This was really fun to make! The duck is royal clay over RKT, cat tails of modeling chocolate with leaves , water lilies , frog, shotgun shells and dragon flies of gum paste. The dragonflies' wings are gelatin and the rocks and gravel are of sugar. The water is, of course, piping gel and I painted all with Americolor, dusted with chalk. The cake is a deep chocolate (scratch recipe) with sour cream ganache filling, and it is covered with ganache topped by fondant. (Do I need to add that the groom is not only a duck hunter, but a chocoholic?) All in all, after the fear that what was in my mind might not transfer to the cake itself, I was very pleased with the result. Let me know what you think...TFL.
