I've just discovered BYC and am enjoying this whole posting thing!
Here are some pictures from my daughter's farm party. I made a coconut cake using a combination of 4, 9" round coconut cakes and a coconut filling. The grated coconut worked well for feathers. I sculpted the legs, thighs, and wing to give it a 3-d shape. The invitations were a chicken-themed paper from the scrapbook store, complete with chicken wire! They opened using a brad. I also used the paper for the frame favors. I found coordinating ribbon at Wal-Mart and tied it in knots, then glued it to black frames from the DollarTree. The chicken cake was my first time making a cake, and I must say that coconut is a very forgiving medium for making chickens!
BTW-The logo on the invitations is my farm logo, so please respect the copyright.
