Mr. Met Birthday Cake

Mr. Met Birthday Cake
This cake was carved out of 2 red velvet sheet cakes stacked up and frosted with cream cheese frosting and covered with home made marshmallow fondant.
The head is a giant rice krispy treat ball covered in buttercream and fondant. I placed several wooden dowels in the cake as well as 4 longer ones from the cake up into the head.
The "plaque" is also made of fondant and it's trimmed with some dark chocolate. The eyes are also piped on dark chocolate. The back of the cake has the birthday boy's last name in layered fondant cut outs. The "Mets" on the front of the cake is a double layer of fondant in order to get the 2-tone effect.
All other decorations are fondant. The hat is a fondant/gum paste mixture.
