When the client wanted TWO macaws on her graduation cake, but had dietary restrictions that would not allow for use of modeling chocolate, I was a little worried about how to pull that off. In the end, while time consuming, it wasn’t so bad really. Macaws are sculpted from RKT and covered entirely in fondant feathers. Facial detail is hand painted. All other decoration on this gluten-free/dairy-free cake are also made from fondant.
