To get the look of the planters peanut bag I used my edible
printer and frosting sheets to get the planters peanut bag and the logo for
Chester Cheeto, I made edible tootsie roll wrappers and Hershey’s
wrappers made from the edible frosting sheets and printer I backed those on to
fondant to make them sturdier.
For the Cheetos and Cheetos
bag I hand painted the Cheetos bag with diluted food coloring and the Cheetos
are out of fondant too to get a cheesy effect on them I rolled them in orange
edible glitter.
I then stacked and filled my cake for the M&M and once
the cake was chilled again I began to carve it I would of preferred to make the
shape more true to the shape of a real M&M but I had to take in
consideration where the cake had to travel to also we were experiencing
extremely hot weather in Chicago so I wanted to make sure the cake arrived in
perfect condition. If you look closely you will notice that the M&M doesn’t
have his famous symbol well that is because the hand would cover it so I
decided it wasn’t necessary but looking back I wish I would of added it! Also
the hands are made of a fondant modeling chocolate mixed with a flexible wire
strung through the middle so that it provides extra support.
The finished product after all the elements were added
