DIY: DUCK DYNASTY CAKE

Duck Dynasty is all the rage lately! People around my neck of the woods are pretty enthusiastic about this show. I haven't really had much time to sit down and watch it myself but I have to admit, the characters seem pretty interesting. Well with all the fascination surrounding this community of hunters I wasn't surprised when a few people finally asked me to do a Duck Dynasty cake. I have to admit, I was really hoping to do a beard cake. I might be a beard lady. Hard to say really. Okay let's not talk about that. Beards and cakes don't mix well. :) 

Anyhoozles, the best part of all the new fads for me, is always the opportunity for a new cake. Something different. Or even something simple. In-fact that's what I love most about cakes like these. Some of the most appealing designs to me are always the more simple ones. 

This logo was really simple to achieve. There are several ways to transfer an easy logo like this. When possible, I almost always make them from fondant. For me, fondant is just my go-to. Here's how I did it: 

Making the Logo:

•  To make the logo, print a picture of the "duck"  found online like this one here. Then cut it out to use as a template. 

• Then I roll out black fondant and cut around the template using an Xacto knife. 

• Next  roll out white fondant and cut out a large oval to put behind the logo. 

• Then take the duck pieces that you have cut out and place them on the white fondant oval, using a tiny bit of water to secure them in place.

• Once you have your symbol you can use letter cut outs to write any message you want.   

 Hope everyone found this helpful!  Be sure to leave comments and let me know what other kind of tutorials you would like to see. 

Here is an example of another Duck Dynasty cake I did using this same method.

 *Side Note* The only reason some of my cakes have the "CakeTheDay" water mark is because that is what my website used to be (a long time ago) before I changed everything to RevaCakes.
