The Chili Pepper was done using the Pasiley pan, covered in white fondant and sprayed with red spray color mist. This was my first time covering a cake in the color mist. It made a nice, deep red on the fondant when it dried. It worked great for the top of the cake, but I found it to be a tad runny on the sides and left a couple blochy spots. Didn't work well at spraying vertically.
The maracas are all fondant.
The Sombrero I made using a 12" round with the Wonder mold pan stacked on top. I should've had more layers in the middle to make the crown higher up. I think it ended up looking for like a safari hat than a sombrero, but oh well. This was my first attempt at doing a basketweave so I was very happy with how that part turned out. Especially since I was doing it on a curved surface which made it more difficult to line up the weave lines.
Carrie, I didn't know you made cakes! Wow these are great! Wish you were closer!! :)
