Sewing Machine Cake

Sewing Machine Cake on Cake Central

Scroll down for Instructions in the Sept 2010 comments. =) Sewing machine birthday cake. The machine is 1/2 cake 1/2 rice crispy treats covered with MMF. side view. See the skewers stuck into the base cake. They are cut off 1 3/4 " above the base and the rice crispy portion of the machine body rests on a small circle of cardboard on top of the skewers. The machine body is two layers of cake, 3" x 4 1/2", then on top of the cake, a piece of foam core 3" x 6 ". On top of the foam core, rice crispy treats to form the top and the needle side of the machine. Iced all with a thick layer of icing, then covered it with fondant. (nerve wracking!!)

I think I'm going to attempt something like this for my sewing instructor and a student seamstress in my costume construction class. GREAT idea, nicely executed! I've never worked with Fondant as a full cake covering, so it should be ..er...fun? Insta fav!
