Skull Cake

How to make a cake look "manly"?  Hmm... I've seen some cakes shaped like meat and meatloaf but that's pretty gross.  Then again, I guess so is a skull on a cake....

But this hand-molded deer skull was made of chocolate (and some spices for coloring) and entirely edible. 

The cake itself was "chocolate brownie" cake (a little bit of chewy on the outside and very moist on the inside) and buttercream frosted with fondant overlay. 


The "rocks" are made out of fondant too. 


And, yep, you guessed it.  This cake is my new favorite one... for now. 

Hope you liked it, K and the "crew."

Yummy!

  1. It sure does look manly. And I have to stop looking at all of these delicious things because now I am desperately craving sugar. Darn it!

  2. My colleague randomly bought a skull with antlers yesterday on the market on the way to work. Apparently she's wanted one for years. It's her birthday in two weeks and I think I'm going to take inspiration from you and make a skull cake. Fingers crossed it turns out as awesome as yours
