of dragons and cakes

I'm slacking off during the week and now, I'm back for seconds on the weekend... I spent about an hour on the How to Train your Dragon IMDb and I just had to come back. I know my son's birthday is months away, but he lives HTTYD right now and I've been spending a lot of time thinking of the dragon cake I will be making for him.

I will be trying my hand on the main dragon: Toothless. I've discussed my plans with my husband and he is definitely on board. He loves to work on the details of my cakes. Of course, you have to take my word for it, but I have made progress in the cake making department. They are much more elaborate.

Anyway... I digress. What I'm looking for right now is the material to make the wings. Fondant is too soft, marshmallow fondant does dry a bit, but is still soft, chocolate clay is hard to work with and a little heavy... gum paste? We'll have to try. It will take a lot of coloring though.

Good thing we still have time...
