Bumble (the Abominable Snowman!)

I just adored the Bumble cake by tokazodo, so I had to try making him for my husband's office holiday party this year. The kiddos LOVED him, and that just makes all the work worth it right? :) I used the WASC recipe (+ sky blue food color) and it was enough to make one 9" (3" high) & three 7" (1" high) layers. By the way, I completely underestimated how much time it would take to pipe on all the fur - at least 1.5 hours! My hand is still in a claw :)

This is a fabulous cake and my fiance would be thrilled if I could make it for him!! It would be an incredible surprise to take to his brothers Christmas eve party (and I wouldn't tell my fiance until I uncovered it lol). Motowifey if you would be so kind as to share with me how you made this it would give me a wonderful Christmas present even though I know mine couldnt come close to how incredible yours looks!! I look forward to your reply.

I've had a few people ask me for instructions to go along with the how-to picture, so here they are: Arms/Shoulders: (9" x 3") cake into two, torted, then rounded on top. Head: 3 (7" x 1.5") layers, torted. Top of head is RKT, which was molded by pressing into a bowl, then slightly flattening where the eyes would sit. RKT sits on top of a foam core circle to support the weight. Fingers: Fondant colored with wilton sky blue Face: Fondant colored with wilton sky blue. I molded then stuck the ...

nose directly onto the RKT, then covered with a fondant skin to try and make it look more realistic. I've seen them do this Ace of Cakes, and I was quite pleased with how it turned out! Hair: Wilton grass tip & buttercream frosting Thanks for the nice comments everyone!
