Jet Jaguar Cake

 

Jet Jaguar cake

My husband always chooses something rather challenging for his birthday cake, and last year he wanted a Jet Jaguar cake to go with his Cult Movie Marathon themed party.  Don't know who Jet Jaguar is?  Me neither until I watched Godzilla vs Megalon.  He is the robot that fights with Godzilla to defeat the other monsters (no idea who the other monsters were - I assume one of them was Megalon :) 

The cake was definitely a challenge, and I wasn't sure that the top of his robot head would defy gravity for any length of time, but it did, and it turned out pretty well in the end after a few attempts (and after a while of the back of his head resting against an empty fondant bucket while it set).
 

I also made a bunch of movie themed biscuits which were served during each movie.  Can you guess which movies??

 

What will be the challenge for 2014?  Have to wait until September to find out...  although I do have an idea for my Royal Show entry this year :)
