Fondant Cigars Birthday Cake

on
This was my husband's birthday cake.
-------------------------------------------------------
This sugar cigar case was made tonight, and it is going to be used as a decoration theme for  my husband's birthday cake. I have to admit that photos do not show all the details on the cigars, but I think they are good enough to show the end result.

 



I used icing fondant and gum paste which I made from scratch (you can find this recipe and instructions in a previous post). I also used fondant colour paste, and edible pens.  



Although my husband does not smoke any more, this cake was a pleasant surprise for him!
His birthday is on the 21/03/11.

    I have a cigar afficiando friend and this is perfect for him. As creative as you are, I would say you do not really have a kitchen-just an imagineering room. Congrats on another great creation!

    This cake shows a great way to creatively capture something that is incredibly unhealthy (cigars) with something that is... well.. less unhealthy (cake). It's a great idea for adults, but it's a good thing this cake isn't marketed to kids. There are already enough ad campaigns directed toward promoting tobacco products to kids in order to draw in life-long customers from a young age, as tobacco has proven to be extremely habit-forming.
