USMC Cake

This is one of my earlier cakes, a cake I made for my nephew's 16th birthday. He's been wanting to join the Marines so I , made him a USMC cake.

Started with just a plain, iced cake.

Added an edible picture I had printed out by a local shop.

Added some little soldiers and grass to the top.

Border and such.

Then I noticed I had a broken soldier... missing his feet and head. My boyfriend had the wonderful idea to use red food coloring and take full advantage of this. 

Ta-da!
