I volunteered to make the baby shower cake for a friend :chef:
A little background first: I live in an airpark/fly-in community, which means that most everyone here owns/flies airplanes and we have a runway in our neighborhood. There are about a dozen of us that go to the same hair-dresser and we are giving her a baby shower. I found this cute cake online and decided that I can copy this one! But, I want to put little airplanes across it instead of the yellow-whatever-it-is-design (dinosaurs - maybe?) that they used. I'll probably do it the in a similar color scheme as this sample, but I have no clue how to make the little airplanes across the chest area. How would I do that so that they look like airplanes and not blobs? I am a self-taught cake decorator btw so I need laymans terms when you describe it for me....and pictures would be a great help. Thanks!
Here's the cake I plan to copy:
