Bug Cake on Cake Central

I found some instructions for these bugs that were for polymer clay and thought 'what the heck', and tried them with a fondant/gumpast mix.

Thanks for the nice comments! I don't mind anyone copying this. In fact, the directions for the bugs are in the Family Fun magazine that my daughter showed me and they are also on the website. As for the tree trunk, I took some brown and white fondant and mixed them together so that the marbling lines would go up and down, then tried to mod it into the tree trunk. When it looked kink of like a trunk I dusted it lightly with brown powdered food coloring. Hope that makes sense!
