Scoooooby Dooby Doo!

I'm very proud of my Scooby Doo cake!

The cake was a buttergold cake with homemade buttercream frosting... and strawberry preserves in the middle. Yummy!! I covered the cake with the help of some of Duff's new fondant (have I mentioned how much I LOVE Ace of Cakes?!) and I made some modeling chocolate of my own to create Scooby, the paw-prints and dog bones!

I think this cake was the perfect "Scooby-Snack."

Marvelous Modeling Chocolate!


With every cake I make, I pose a personal challenge to myself to try something I have never done before. I've been experimenting with homemade fondant, but decided that for this cake, I needed to kick it up a notch! The occasion was my boyfriend's mother's 50th birthday party. I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and covered it with white modeling chocolate and chocolate roses. I found some awesome sprinkles that look like pearls too! I am so excited with how it turned out! I can't wait for my next cake creation!
