I stressed and obsessed over this cake…It was way outside my comfort zone in more ways than one.
Big thanks to ArtisticIcingCakes, dulciebluebaker, ConceptualConfection, SweetBee, Valley Kool Kakes, CorpseQueen, and especially BITO for your advice.
I took a little from all your suggestions: The cake was carved from two 12″×18″×2″ cakes. Pecs were made from 6" round cakes. Abs were fondant “implants”. Leg muscles are cake + cake ball mix. And yes, I just had to use a Twinkie in his shorts! LOL!!

You did a fantastic job, especially for being out of your comfort zone. I admire your courage, your work is excellent. And I am really, REALLY struggling, keep my cheeky comments about the twinkie, to myself!

Loren, that is brilliant!! I have to make one soon for a hen’s weekend. I am a little scared of carving out his privates. I would have loved to have seen your face while you were taking on the challenge. LOL
