Bassoon Cake
My first fondant cake ever. This was for my boyfriend's birthday. He's played the bassoon for over 10 years. It was 42 inches long (20% smaller than life-size). Used "Durable Cake for 3-D..." recipe w/ DH Dark Chocolate Fudge mix. Baked in 12x18 sheet cake pan, cut, and carved. Iced with Chocolate Syrup Frosting w/ McCormick Raspberry extract added. Covered in Satin Ice chocolate fondant; Nu Silver and Super Pearl luster dusts were mixed with vodka and painted on sculpted fondant pieces.
