A means Andrew! My little adorable neph Andrew turned 1! And nothing says Andrew like an Alligator! So to match some cute gator-plates, a gator cake was in order. Nothing fancy, but big enough for a crowd - and something kids would like too.
I made my standard chocolate cake, filled with a yummo ganache and then a buttercream frosting airbrushed with my trusty Duff airbrush kit. To make the gator, I considered a 3D "statue" of a gator but I wanted something BIG that matched the paper plates and decorations so I free-handed the picture with a toothpick on fondant and then just "colored" in by using my food colors as paint. So cute, if I do say so myself :) And I do!
To supplement, I added a dozen cupcakes with jimmies - in case the chocolate was too intense for anyone - and because who doesn't like variety! I used an orange buttercream this time....
