The party was a few weeks back, I'm happy to say that he was sturdy and I only used three dowels to separate the 2 cake tiers. He may not look exactly like Elvis, but I was pretty happy with my first "head" - although, I don't like the thought of anyone cutting into it....
My client said the cakes were a hit! Her grandmother didn't have the heart to cut into it and the poodle cake fed everyone. As of last week, it is still sitting in her basement cold storage.... which I wouldn't want to bump into late at night because I'm sure it would scare me every time :-)
Elvis "In Progress" - I started with 5 layers of vanilla cake iced with Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
Then, I started to carve the cake... yes, he now looks like Chewbacca...
He's starting to come to life with a bit more carving and some more buttercream.
And now sporting a new look - kinda Zorro-ish.... Such a fun cake!
