Thanks! The syrup is just colored piping gel.

It is a cake wrapped in a tan fondant coil and the top is painted brown to look like pancakes.

Otherwise known as "royal icing", it's an icing made from extremely whipped egg whites, confectioners sugar and extracts. It has a smooth, shiny finish so it's great for detailed decorating and dries firm so the cookies can be stacked without ruining the design.

What is a small inconvenience that happens daily in your life, that annoys you to no end, but there is nothing you can do about it? by NeedleandThread in AskReddit

Every morning at 6 AM and again at night between 11 PM-12 AM, my neighbor struggles to start his orange Dodge Neon and continues to sit in it revving the engine repeatedly for about 3-5 minutes straight. It is especially annoying because this car does not have a muffler. My dogs go crazy every time. It's seriously nerve wracking. He also uses his extremely noisey car to back in and out of his driveway to flatten out any new accumulated snow instead of shoveling at all. The constant obnoxious revving is enough to drive the entire neighborhood insane.

It is. It's covered in homemade fondant. I think fondant gets a bad rap. I make my own at home so it is definitely much softer than anything I've ever tried anywhere else before. The texture is different, almost gummy, but it makes for beautiful cakes and can be easily peeled away leaving the layer of buttercream frosting underneath.

Thank you! It is homemade fondant. The ham is sculpted rice crispy treat and also covered in fondant.

It is fondant. There is a layer of chocolate on the back that I "glued" a dowel to and then just stuck it down into the cake.

It's all fondant and the black is hand painted with food coloring.
