The Pigeon Helps Make a Birthday Cake - November 2012

I made this Mo Willems themed cake for my daughter, Carissa, for her 8th birthday.  Mo Willems is one of her favorite authors so she decided to have a Mo Willems themed party.  She picked 8 different characters that she would want as part of the party [she decided 8 would be good since she was turning 8 :) ].

Mo Willems Themed Cake 1 - The Pigeon, The Duckling, Elephant, Piggie, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Naked Mole Rat, Knuffle Bunny, the Mice

Mo Willems Themed Cake 2 - The Pigeon, The Duckling, Elephant, Piggie, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Naked Mole Rat, Knuffle Bunny, the Mice

The characters were made out of fondant.  I rolled it fairly thin and let it dry a bit.  (This just made it a little easier to draw on; the marker wouldn't stick or drag so much as it would on fresh soft fondant.)  Then I drew the characters with a black food coloring marker. I used a small paring knife to cut the characters out, and then I painted them with food coloring.  I went over the outline with the food coloring marker on any places that needed it.  I attached lollipop sticks (maybe toothpicks on some) to the backs of the characters using fondant and water.

More pictures and details to come... :)
