Wow! This is a work of art!!! Did you use fondant for the eyes and teeth? I love how the teeth overlap! Boy would my son go nuts over this cake!!! Awsome job!!
thank you so much! It was quite a pain in the behind but I love a challenge. There is a large dowel going through the whole cake which is screwed onto the bottom and I had my husband use a jigsaw to cut the shape of the head which is going through the middle of the head. First I stacked up the cakes. I forget exactly which sizes I used, but I just stacked up the round cakes on the dowel to make the body. I hot glue gunned foil to the underside of the head board to make the chin shape.....to be cont.
after shaping the foil to the underside I covered it with fondant. I screwed the head board onto the top of the dowel, then carved out the head. I added the arms & legs and I covered the entire thing in #352 "scales" which took about 5 hours just for that. The teeth and claws are fondant on a stick, but the claws I painted. It took me one night to assemble and the next to decorate, so at least 15 hours on this cake. The funny part was that a lot of the people didn't even realize that it was the cake!
whoops, I should have taken pics while I was assembling it! I tend to keep it all in my head and just wing it, but I could probably write out more detailed instructions if they wanted me to.
