This was my first big competition at the Americas cake and sugarcraft fair. Sadly I did not place but throughly enjoyed it and recieved some inspiration.

He is made from satin Ice fondant and white modeling chocolate. The head and tail is rice cereal treat. The rest would be cake. The branch is modeling chocolate. I did masking to get the white spots on him when I air brushed him. I embossed his body and hand textured his rail, face and legs. In a real cake his legs would be chocolate covered pretzels. I air brushed his him. The little bug is a replica of a orange lady bug from Madagascar .
