This was my very first wedding cake!! It's a shot taken in my kitchen....it looked much better at the reception...they had a great layout on a table with flowers, etc....

I had this topper planned for a competition that I never made, so I made it for sis....her whole wedding theme then revolved around peacocks.

Yes....I'm sorry...let me describe it....
It's chocolate (her request) with chocolate-raspberry buttercream....covered in fondant and the peacocks I sculpted with fondant (at 4:00 am the day of the wedding!!!) I didn't breathe until my DH returned from delivering it and told me it got there ok!

I absolutely LOVE peacocks....well, I really like jelly fish and octopus too...but Whistler is one of my favorite artists and he did beautiful peacocks.....ANYWAY....this cake is just STUNNING! Is there any way you could please post a tutoria on how to make the peacocks? They look so very professional. I thought, at first, that they were purchased porcelian (I know I spelled that wrong, forgive me).
