I made this cake for my little grand neice Kaden (we call her juicey), this is Moose A. Moose & Zee. This is a beach theme 1st birthday cake. Moose A Moose was made by stacking 4 8inch cakes and curving them, the sand bucket was made with 2 4inch cakes stacked and curved, i added gumpaste shovel and gumpaste sun glasses in the bucket, i used crushed graham crackers to make the sand. Moose's ears are not edible, they are made from cardboard and covered in brown royal icing,(tried making them from rice krispie treats, but they were to heavy). Zee is a keepsake for the baby, so i made her from a styrofoam ball covered with royal icing (let it dry) then cover in gumpaste, her wings are made of from rice krispie treats covered in gumpaste and i use a toothpick to make the feather effect of the wings. If you want to make an edible Zee, just use Wilton's ball pan .The beach towel is made from fondant which i put through the pasta maker to get it thin. the presents are just small cubes of cake cut from a larger cake, stacked and covered with fondant.
