Pickles and Ice Cream

This was for a baby shower. The cake is hand-painted fondant. The cherries are fondant with gum paste stems.



I had no idea on how to do the ice cream. I happened to Tivo a Food Network Challenge that featured food stylists and one of their challenges was to make a banana split. It turns out that fake ice cream is just a modified stiff frosting. I love how it turned out!
