In case you were worried that i wasn't red neck enough.....here's my latest cake! It's for a little boy's first birthday. All mom asked for is camo, but told me to do whatever i wanted with it. So i started out with just camouflage.....then since the family hunts hounds and the camo looked a bit boring it acquired a dog....then i had to have the dog treeing something so trees popped up all over....but there had to be something IN the tree so it acquired a racoon too! Yes i realize that the dog, trees and racoon aren't exactly proportionate, but you get the point!!
This was my first time modeling with fondant, so my little figurines aren't perfect, but i'll get better! And i think the humidity was higher than usual here today, because my fondant was acting really strange....so the cake is in the fridge at the moment (i know, big no-no with fondant) And MAN the camera sure does show flaws! At least i can go back and fix them before i take it to them tomorrow!

The leaf design in the camo is a GREAT idea, the coon is CUTE, the dog get's the idea done. Those poor Trees though, i thought at first glance and before reading the "story" they were piles of animal poo used to track the animal. SORRY! I do love the camo though!!!!
