Severed Arm Cake
Intro: Severed Arm Cake
First I sculpted the marrow of the bones out of sugar paste, or fondant
I made the marrow for the hand bones too, and then I let it harden.
STEP 1: Make the Bones..
I covered the "marrow" with white chocolate to create the bones.
STEP 2: The Rat's Heads
I sculped the rat's heads out of grey sugar paste and painted them with red gel
food coloring. The teeth were made from gum paste, which is like sugar paste
STEP 3: The Rat's Bodies
I baked two red velvet mini loaf cakes and carved them into the shape of the
rat's bodies. Then I frosted them with vanilla frosting tinted with red gel
food coloring.
I covered the rats bodies with rolled out fondant and blended it into the head
STEP 4: Make the Arm Cake
I baked a large red velvet cake and cut half into the shape of an arm.
I dug out a trench in the middle and layed the bones inside.
I filled the center with blended cherry pie filling so it would ooze out when
it was cut. after this photo, I placed another cake on top and carved it into
the arm shape.
STEP 5: Cover With Fondant
I rolled out skin colored fondant and placed it over the hand and arm.
I sculpted the finger "skin" around the bones.
STEP 6: Fingernails
I made ridged fingernails out of gum paste and lightly painted them with food
coloring to give them a dirty yellowed appearance.
STEP 7: Blood
The blood was made from clear cake decorating gel colored with gel food coloring.
STEP 8: Rat's Tails
I made rat tails out of fondant and attached them with toothpicks.

Love how you "built up" the whole arm rather than just having a hunk of cake covered with fondant. Looked very real!

Could you put the ingredient list for every thing you used for the frosting and fondant. Thanks

I just used boxed red velvet cake mix, and canned vanilla frosting that I tinted with red gel food coloring. I also used Wilton fondant and wilton clear piping gel that I tinted with the red gel food color. For the blood inside the bones, I blended frozen mixed berries and strained out the seeds :)
