Western Boot Birthday Cake

Western Boot Birthday Cake on Cake Central

Here is a boot cake that I made today for a 6 yr. olds birthday. I used 2 9x13 pans and carved out the boot. It is chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant decorations. I was going to charge $45.00 for it but it slide a little on the ride to town so I charged her $30.00 and the mom paid it. The grandmother wanted to pay only $20.00 for it. I did fix it up when I got to town though Oh well!! First time that I have had this happen.

The leather look came from coloring the icing a medium brown color and then after it crusted over I lightly brushed over it with a brown petal dust.

I'm new to this and have a question... How do you get the leather looking icing? The cake looks great! I've seen this icing look on a Turkey cake too and wondered how it was done. Thanks!!
