Leather Jacket Cake

Leather Jacket Cake on Cake Central

This was a "thank you" cake for my aunt and uncle for helping us out in so many ways. They both love riding motorcycles, so I thought they would enjoy this! On the back of the jacket, I made the Harley Davidson "shield" with wings and instead of writing Harley Davidson in it, I wrote "Debbie and Doug Forever" It looked SOOO cool, but the pictures of it came out really fuzzy. I'm so bummed. Made with chocolate MMF and mocha buttercream underneath.

thanks!!! I really want to try and make this for my father-in-law's 50th birthday! He is a "Harley Man" and would LOVE THIS!

Actually, I didn't do it on purpose! I made the marshmallow fondant and stirred in some melted chocolate (to make it easier to get it black), and I think that might have made it shiny. Somehow my chocolate fondant comes out softer and shinier than regular fondant. But I've heard you can spray corn syrup on it to get it to shine or confectioner's glaze.
