Ok here is a pic of what is supposed to be the coca cola polar bear sitting on an iceberg...any ideas on how I could of made it look more like an iceberg? I made this cake for Dh's b day today, he is a huuuuuuuuuge coke fan..

Not exactly what I envisioned, but overall I am happy with it...

Thanks to MelC for all her help with the polar bear...it is fondant covered in royal icing... buttercream on the rest of the cake...

thanks for looking..

Hi Charleydog!
I think your cake is adorable! I have two ideas that would make it more iceburg-like. 1st would be to carve the cake into an irregular shape, more like a broken chunk. 2nd I would add a tiny bit of blue tint to the frosting in a few spots.
In all honesty, I think it's great just how it is though. Plenty of the Coca-Cola ads show the bear enjoying a cold one just sitting on the snow too! I know your DH will love it!!

are you kidding? have you seen some of your cakes? need classes, thats a riot. cakes4you stole my idea... I was going to say try using the wonder mold and then cut it so it looks choppy like an iceberg.

great cake i love the bear.
