Muppet Show themed cake with several of the charactors sculpted out of rolled fondant icing.

I was absolutely amazed when one of my fellow Slashfoodies, Kellye Agreda, sent me a link to this cake. I spent quite a lot of years as a cake decorator, and I know how much time and effort goes into a thing like this.

This cake took first place at the Kentucky State Fair in 2007. Can you imagine? The craftsmanship and level of detail on this cake is nothing short f breath taking. I've seen a couple shows On Food Network about cake decorators preparing cakes for a big competition, so I know they can spend some serious time making this type of cake. I wonder if the cake was made by a professional or by a hobbyist? Either way, I wonder how much they charge for a birthday cake?

If you want to see more views of this cake, check out Adam Newbold's Flickr set. I could stare at these images for long periods of time if I wasn't careful. So be careful, and make sure you have a few minutes!

My future sister-in-law, Heather Haynes, made this cake. :) It still sits on my future mother-in-law's refridgerator. Baking is her passion..she currently does it as a hobby but wants to open her own bakery.

Thanks for the appreciation.

Thanks, connie.Any chance you could ask Heather if she could become a member at muppetcentral.com and reply to a thread on how she made it.also I would like to know if she might be interested in making me a replica of the cake, but using permanent materials, like using a box for the cake and fimo for the figures?I am muppetperson at muppetcentral, so she could send me a personal message once she has joined.Thanks.
