Each "ice cream" scoop was done using a 6 inch round with half a ball on top of that. It's chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cake, with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry buttercream. The "sauce" is chocolate fondant, and colored fondant. The cherry is a cherry candy and the nuts are broken Nilla wafers. The bananas are RKT covered in fondant and the whipped cream on top and underneath the bananas is buttercream. The third photo shows the "melting" ice cream" without the bananas. It was left of the stove for the photo to give an idea of the overall size of the cake. The platter used for it measures approx. 24". This was for a going away party for a friend who reupped in the military after being retired for 10 years. He was leaving for Afghanistan, but didn't want a "going away" party, so we just threw him a cookout....... so to speak.
