Luv and Kitchenelf: dissecting a baby pig is not that hard when it's made entirely out of cake.

This one is another example of Jenny's scuplting abilities used for sweets... a catfish cake:

I kept thinking, man that is almost too life-like, I would almost feel like I was really cutting into a catfish! And are those catfish eggs it is surrounding??

But seriously, very nicely done and I especially liked the boar.

Yup, pretty darn life-like isn't it... maybe the designer should be on Ace of Cakes!

Yeah, the catfish cake was weird but once you tried it well it was simply cake, maybe with a little bit too much icing since that was the main thing she sculpted with. Still it was good icing, I mean Jon ate the entire head of that thing.
