I was asked to make a cake with an ice cream cone theme. After my initial conversation I was stumped. This is my 3rd cake and just not ready to build an armature to support an ice cream cone. The mom was talking a flat cake and I was thinking...well, this is what I came up with. I know, my cake is slipping...got a little crazy with the buttercream and it didn't help that it was like 94 degrees outside! No one cared!!! The cake was a hit! The "ice cream scoops" are cupcakes covered in fondant...gum paste/fondant sprinkles rolled by hand, chocolate fondant (sprayed with Pam) for the drippy topping...
