Crocodile Cake

You don't want to meet up with one of these... unless of course it is cake!  I created this fun crocodile cake for a little boys birthday party which was being held at at reptile zoo near Toronto, Reptilia.  How great is that?
I was asked to make a crocodile with the colors from the party graphics and make it more realistic, than cartoony.  I selected the wonderful blue with some green accents and tried to match it with the gecko in the design.
I was so happy with how it turned out.  When I finished the cake, I emailed some photos over to my little nephew since I was telling him about it the day before.  This is what he said.  :-)
"WOW -- I'm a little scared of it- but not too much.  I wish I could eat that when it has a candle on it."   Maseo, Age 4

AMAZING!!! My son was invited to the party. The photo doesn't compare to how fantastic it looked at the party. (It tasted as good as it looked.) My son's birthday is coming up in September. I will call you to do the cake.

Carved cakes always make me a little nervous! Obviously you hit this one out or the park with some great details. Nice work!!
