Japanese Beetle Bug Cake (Tutorial)

Realistic looking Japanese Beetle Cake on a 16 inch cake board

My daughter's friend had a bug themed party and when asked to make a cake, I got super excited to have a chance and make a cake that resembled his favorite bug, the Japanese Beetle Bug.  He's massive and sits on a 16 inch round cake board and his body measures 12x6 inches...and it's all cake!  Here are photos of the process in making this creepy and realistic looking bug cake.

A Painted Curious George Cake


Curious George Cake and Cupcakes

I have been MIA for a while but life has been busy, very busy, that I haven't had time to keep up the blog or do many cakes.  This years resolution (and with it being February already), I'm going to try to post more.  2012 passed by in a flash and I'll post a little recap on the few, 2012 cakes that I've done.
