boobies anyones?

my husband emailed me one afternoon.
the subject was:

"can you make"

and the body of the email consisted of:

"a cake that looks like boobs?"

um, duh. of COURSE i can.



i did my research. i figured the best was to order a "boob pan" from a naughtly website. and for the base, use a 9 x 13 glass pan.









i followed the recipe for a regular, oh-so-normal plain yellow cake, and made white frosting (don't use a recipe for buttercream frosting - the yellow from the egg yolks will completely throw off the coloring you use to create the desired "skin tone.")

i ordered "copper" colored food gel dye from Wilton's (also online - it says "perfect for skin tones" haha), and had to add a bit of pink also to get the desired coloring. oh boy. what fun.




i made the nipples out of fondant. the brown part didn't look exactly right when i assembled it, but, looked the best on the actual cake, i thought.


The finished product. haha. i was so happy & proud. and so was the guy at my husband's job who reeived the cake at his retirement party.
