Garfield Cake
This Garfield cake was made for my niece's birthday day. I used 2, 4 inch cakes and 3, 6 in and curved them into a ball for his head and body, his legs are made of fondant. All the cakes seen here are made of fondant. the bowl of spaghetti was made from Wilton ball pan I used only half, iced the cake and covered it in fondant, the spaghetti was also made from fondant put through a pasta machine, the meat balls are little pieces of cake that I made with a melon scooper, the spaghetti sauce is piping gel with a little Wilton no taste red icing color. Garfield stripes on his body were made from black food coloring with a little water in it to help make it thin enough to paint with, then i painted the stripes onto the fondant once the fondant was dry. The party hat on his head was made from fondant, the forks in his hands are plastic. the table the spaghetti is sitting on is a 4'' round cake iced and covered in fondant, with a draping of fondant for the table cloth. He is sitting on a rectangular cake which was curved from a larger cake which looks like a present. Off to his right side is a birthday cake with candles that Garfield removed from the table and replaced with the bowl of spaghetti,(its that just like him).
