Russ's Birthday cake!

      I made a cake for my brother Russ for his birthday.  He is the ultimate thrill seeker and I wanted to represent that attribute in the cake.  He is always outdoors: rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, wake boarding, bungee jumping; if it is a risky he has done it or will do it.  Since it is in the winter I decided to make it something he would do now so I did a ski hill.  My brother loves one thing more than his hobbies and that is his family! I included my Sister in-law, Trisha, and nephew,Cannon.  It was fun to make, but the first time doing fondant people.  I did a vanilla base with a chocolate mountain.  Oh yeah, I have to give props to my hubby who made the fondant trees, he did an amazing job!
