Little Man Cake October 2013

I made this cake for a "little man" themed baby shower. It's a chocolate cake covered in fondant. All the details are made of fondant. I have had really bad experiences trying to get true red in the past, but I found a great recipe for red fondant at the Sugar Sweet Cakes and Treats website that uses a combination of Americolor red and Wilton candy melts. It worked out great! I experimented with a fluffy chocolate frosting to fill the cake and then decided to use it to dirty-ice underneath the fondant---big mistake! It was way too fluffy and kept squishing out on the bottom underneath the fondant. Other than that, I think this one turned out pretty good.
