Description I made this cake for the 2011 Iowa state fair. It is based off the Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter. The mouth and tongue are made out of modeling chocolate, the tentacles are made out of brown fondant.

Result: 1st place in single tier category

Wow a DD!!! Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone!

I don't know why but the first glance I thought of was "Army of Darkness" but I was saddened when I also remembered that the book didn't look anything like this one (the cake lol)

Still, I like it.

Grats on the DD

This is great and cake can be so hard to work with. I've had some experience with cake before so I know how truly hard it can be, but you pulled this off perfectly. This is amazing!
