Ended Contest # 4: Edible Easter Contest for the 7th Annual Easter Hatch-a-long!

So I decided to make a 'Chicken cake.' I wanted it to look like a Golden Lakenvalder, a chicken I really wish I had haha. I believe their eggs are actually white but as far as I know Cadbury doesn't have large white chocolate eggs.
The body is cholocate cake, the head and tail are shaped from fondant, and the feathers are buttercream frosting. She's kinda fat, but I think she still turned out pretty well.

You definitely have talent, love the chicken.

Great job.

She does look a little broody, so be careful stealing those eggs.

Ok, another super cool entry!! That is so doggone cute!

I might not get an entry in after all. I still can't bend or flex my wrist and this contraption I'm wearing makes sure of that. I'll probably get the Beast removed from my arm tomorrow at my followup appointment but I still have to limit motion for a bit longer. My idea called for forming Rice Krispie treats but that kind of manipulation just isn't possible, and won't be for awhile. I could change directions I guess and do something else, but you know how it is when you have a definite plan in mind and have to switch gears - can't come up with a single thing.

I could ask Katiebug to come over and help me make and form the Rice Krispie treats, but a cold is running through their household (Kendra is really sick with it) and I don't need to be exposed to that right now either. So unless I come up with a surprise, I think I'll be a spectator this time around, which is fun too!

Entries are open until Mid March, so you have plenty of time. And IMO when Katiebug gets over the "bug" do let her help, bet she will love helping.

And - don't use the microwave to melt the marshmallows

It gets too cool to fast to stir evenly.

Love all the entries!! Me daughter said we have to make one - so...I guess I'll see if she and I can maybe squeeze something out this weekend! She LOVES chickens, baking and decorating!

Can't wait to see what y'all come up with...

x2! I wish one of my girls laid Cadbury eggs.

No, you don't! Then you'd be posting a frantic 911 thread asking what's wrong with your chickens because they have suddenly started laying abnormal eggs!

Great job! I love how you textured the frosting for the feathers. I was planning on making a full size chicken myself but I don't think I want to compete now!

Come on, the more entries there are the more fun we have! Let us have more fun oohing and ahing...please enter!

First I'd have to wipe the chocolate off my hands to type, lol.

Ok, and?

And this would be bad because???

My thoughts exactly!!

 

[N F C]

I figured if I can't have a goose that lays golden eggs, maybe I could have a chicken that lays chocolate eggs.

See, it all makes perfect sense now!
