I was asked by my sister who is a caterer to do a peacock cake topper for a cake she is doing, it is for a 40th birthday party, the cake will be three layers with the peacock feathers draping down the side of the cake. The peacock is made using rice krispie treats, there is s mini tootsie pop for the head, the stick is supporting the head on the body, it is covered in Duffs blue fondant, the plumes on his head are florist wire with gum paste feathers, his beak is gum paste that I sculpted in the shape of a beak. The feathers were made using chocolate clay and fondant, cut with an oval cutter and then veined on a leave impression mat, the darker blue dots are all hand painted, and the greenish part of the leaves were painted with luster dust.
