In community album: Fantasy/Gothic/Fairytale
For the past couple months I'd been trying to get my son to make up his mind what theme he wanted for his 18th birthday cake.  When he drew a blank I threatened to make him a My Little Pony.  Finally, a week before his birthday he decided on a monster from Dungeons and Dragons.  By that time I was seriously considering really making him a My Little Pony cake.  I decided on a compromise:  a D&D monster being slayed by a pony.  

This was my first time using an airbrush to paint a cake.  Not a horrible job, but I wish I'd practiced more first.  I don't have a good feel for for flow rate and haven't figured out fine lines.  Also I made an error in scale, and consequently lacked either a cake board large enough to accommodate the cake or enough fondant to cover it, so it had to be presented on the butcher paper.

    Thanks! My son loved it. . . apart from the pony. At least at first. When he stopped being appalled (after a couple days) he admitted it did make it more interesting.
