Hunting cake
This cake was for cousins who's birthdays fall a week apart. They are both deer hunters so I tried to make the cake reflect that. Bottom tier is yellow cake with vanilla buttercream. Top tree stump is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. The deer antlers (while not shaped quite right) are made from formed swire, covered in gumpaste and then painted with royal icing. I then painted them with a mix of brown coloring and vodka. I liked think making them this way was the best way to go about doing it, but next time I'll have to make sure my points are pointing in the right directions.
