Armadillo Cake 2.0

David specifically requested a bleedin' armadillo groomscake for the rehearsal dinner.  A' la' Steel Magnolias.  And since I had made one for Michael, I figured I could make one for David too.

Check out that grey icing.














I modified an aluminum pan to make an armadillo body shape.  Mum was amazed.














This is quite disturbing, actually - it looks like a victim of Evil Willow.  The body of the armadillo is constructed from red velvet cake, adhered together with red-tinted icing.  This is obviously before it's grey skin icing has been applied.  














Iced!  














Yes. It has x's for eyes.

In all liklihood, this is the most awesome armadillo cake ever baked! Delicious,too. There is still a "flank" in my refrigerator. We consumed cookies last night and I sent your Mom home with wedding cake! It was a special, beautiful weekend. You should kinow, though, that your Dad is still fuming that he was served the armadillo's butt!
