Sweet Treats by Sarah: book cake

I made a Dragon cake!!!! More specifically a Dungeons and Dragons cake. I was terrified about having to sculpt a dragon out of fondant, but the little guy came out pretty good in the end! I worked in sections (head, body, tail, legs, wings) and seamed them together. For the scales, I used a small heart shaped cookie cutter (the point side) pressed and pulled up gently in the fondant.

For the books, I used a really fantastic book tutorial here as a guide. It was a huge help.

Every part of the dragon and books were hand painted using Americolor gel colors and water. Black petal dust was used for shading after food coloring had dried. I also used TMP Super Gold and Super Silver for a few of the accents.
