Mike's 60th cake

Mike's 60th cake

Made for a friend who has winning an Oscar on his bucket list. I made the Oscar from a chocolate mold which was difficult. I wanted the to make it stand up & laid a straw in the bottom so I could put a dowel in the drum & put him over that. The chocolate kept breaking at the ankles. Then I put in fondant/gumpaste in but didn’t dust enough and the other half wouldn’t come out. The fondant broke too so I glued them together.
