Road Kill Possum

This was a suprize for my friend's birthday. Got the idea from Jenn123's cake. My friend has a thing with possums...alive or dead! She loved the cake & told me she wanted a bigger one for her wedding (not engaged, lol)! It was red velvet inside, with cream cheese icing (used the spatula striping method with a grass tip for the fur). MMM for the head, feet, and tail. I used melted white chocolate and color dabbed all over the head and tail for added "fur." I'm really happy with it except the tire mark...

It looks great, very realistic...the red velvet probably made it even creepier to cut into!!

This is just about the funniest cake I have ever seen on here. I especially got tickled over the tire tread!!!! Not sure if I could eat it though, it looks soooo real!!!!
