The cake

So, here is the result of the birthday cake for my sister Tara- you know that Twilight Cake I made.... thanks for those who gave me some ideas!
It turned out pretty good- except for the cake decided to slip during transportation.. oh well... I still got some good pictures.
The first pictures is was it looked like pre-transportation...


The bottom layer is just Styrofoam, but the trees, and everything else is edible. Well not the wolf and Jacob...
The snow and the trees are made of modeling chocolate, and on top of the snow is the tribal symbol for Jacob's tribe... I have no idea what they are called. something starting with a Q...
This picture shows it a little better.



Initially the symbol was going to be on the moon, but they bakery printed it wrong- oh well I can improvise. Also in that picture you can see the oozing raspberry filling coming out. Obviously this is post transportation. The cake layer did not like moving- it was a double layer chocolate cake with a raspberry jam filling (delicious by the way) but I think I put too much jam in the filling and it slid as I was driving. We know for next time.
Also do you like our Candle? We never have candles for cakes- so we use our lighters?
