Duck Call Grooms Cake

When I tell you this groom’s cake was scaled up – I’m not joking. The groom brought his real duck call with him when they came for the consultation and I took a picture of it. Here it is compared with the real cake:

The real duck call was around 4 inches long. The cake was 24 inches long. He carried his call in a burlap pouch so I recreated that look and texture on the cake board as well.

I intended to take progress shots but totally failed. I have one – yes ONE – photo of working on this cake.

So it was carved from a combination of 5-inch and 6-inch cakes. I also used some cardboard rounds in the construction. Then on the far left end (in the above photo where the dowel is sticking out), I used Microwave Rice Krispie Treats to shape the mouthpiece.

I wanted it to stand up off the board somewhat (because it was narrower) and hold its shape. The Rice Krispies Treats worked well for that but after I added the textured burlap “fabric” – it wasn’t obvious that it wasn’t laying directly on the board.
