My tool-belt cake. By far, my favorite cake I’ve made so far! I was inspired by the brutally honest cakes, as well as a local tool that I know. It’s a high-ratio cake w/ swiss buttercream, draped in fondant w/ marzipan decorations.
It was meant to be carved at a bit more severe angle, but my cakes didn’t rise as much as they should’ve so I was working with a little less surface area. But other than the slight cracking around the edges, and the shaky piping, I’d say it wasn’t too shabby! Not bad for my second fondant cake! And extra brownie points for being clever and making my Chef laugh never hurt!

So, please pay no mind to the happy birthday inscription! I can do way better, but I was rushing.. Therefore it is crap. But I will say I love my Gir + Piggy on a cloud! Zim is pretty ‘meh’ but it’s better in person.. Not by much but still.
I got docked for the sloppy piping on the inscription (of course), the thickness of the side decorations, and a bit on the draping. But for my first fully draped fondant & modeled figure decorated cake.. I’m proud of myself! I can feel that it’s one of those things you get really good at w/ some practice. I would definitely not mind doing it for a homie!
Ps. Piggy’s eyes look like boobs.
