OK- this cake is not for the faint of heart. It's obviously not work-safe. It is also not child-safe. Perhaps not husband-safe. But it rocks my world.
So instead of just bringing out a penis cake, we set up a little story for the bachelorette (my cousin). I'd made a small, flacid fondant penis. It obviously was not enough to feed everyone, so she'd have to make it GROW to feed the rest of us :) And when we felt she had sufficiently done her job, I brought out the cake.
Here's the small fondant penis (hand sculpted by me)
Can she make it grow?!?!?
WOAH! She's got some skills (must run in the family)!! Look how the cake grew!!!
She was pretty damn embarrassed (I have yet to show her the VIDEO we took), but it's OK, she got over it and we continued to have more fun during the night.
And for your viewing pleasure, more photos of the cake.
Top view. See how much the penis grew?!?
Face shot (sorry, had to say it!). My fondant got all messed up so what better way to cover it?!?
We definitely enjoyed that cake. Let this be a warning to all men: don't mess with the ladies!
FAQ:
1) No, it is not modeled after someone. It's based on a cake I found online in addition to other photographs I found on google. Yea for getting your PhD to help you "research" things online...
2) Yes, it definitely felt odd when I had to smooth out the fondant. Wrong in soooo many ways.
3) The hair is toasted coconut.
4) It was DELICIOUS. The ladies were often heard saying "if only it always tasted this good"
5) The shaft was a 13x9 cake, cut in half (lenghthwise) and stacked. The balls are 6" rounds. The veins are fondant under the fondant. The tip was hand-sculpted and hand-molded. Oh yes, I said hand-molded (see FAQ #2)
