This weekend my nephew turned 7 years old and he really wanted a Jayhawk Cake. So I whipped up a delicious 2 tier Chocolate Fudge cake with Chocolate Fudge icing. I added fondant dots colored blue and red, a fondant #7, and a fondant Jayhawk made by me. The Jayhawk was surprisingly not as difficult as I thought. It just took some time. I traced a Jayhawk onto parchment paper then rolled out each color of fondant and using an exacto knife cut out the corresponding colors. Then using vanilla I pasted them together. For the finishing touch, I added a blue ribbon border and fondant letters spelling out Happy Birthday Tucker. I'm pretty sure he said this was his best birthday ever! Here are few pictures from the party.
Blow Tucker blow!
