In the Navy!

A friend of mine asked me to make this for her sister who had just been promoted in the U.S. Navy to Lieutenant Commander. It was my first attempt to mold a "character" out of fondant. It was really fun, and I was pretty relieved that it didn't look awful! I had to research uniforms to make it "genuine", right down to the cap and shoulder boards! The funny part was my friend gave me the freedom of choosing the cake and frosting flavors. I thought chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting sounded yummy, so that's what she got! Turned out my friend HATES peanut butter with a passion, but thankfully her sister liked it, and so did the rest of the family! PHEW!!
