Cake BIRD!!!

I made my first cake bird last night. AND IT TURNED OUT!! We got two cubes of clay (one per bird). It looks so freakin' cute!

I put two LONG thick kabob sticks for legs. We can cut them down post-wedding, but for now, I need them to go deep into the cake so the bird can stand up and not tip over. I also used 4" long toothpicks inside so that there is extra structure to the bird (no heads falling off, please!).

We will need to paint them, then add the little top hat, beaks, maybe a few feathers, veil, etc. I will probably use copper wire and wrap that around the legs to make them look more leggish.

But it is SO CUTE!!! Photos to come (when I find my camera and find batteries...)!
