The office birthday cake for June was a special request. The girl who's birthday it was turned 21 this year. She requested a naked man cake.... Well - since it was going to the office, that wasn't really an option. Instead.... I ordered Debbie Brown's Naughty Cakes and found the Greek God cake. Good option - mostly naked man with bulging muscles. That could work!
Next time I will use a petal cake pan to do this cake. I can not carve cakes. I have difficulty getting them equal and properly proportionate! Not only that - cake crumbs EVERYWHERE!!! With this shape of the base cake, it was difficult to get the fondant to lay smoothly - fondant being a challenge for me anyway!
Making the figure was pretty easy overall. Debbie Brown has marvelous instructions that make it easy to do!
Overall, this cake did turn out pretty well - The birthday loved it (and yes, under the toga it was anatomically correct!) ;-)
