I seem to have a recurring theme of making Micah birthday cakes based on his current favorite computer game. This year, he's been into a game called Brawl Stars and it has quite the colorful little group of characters. I agreed to make the cake based on this theme, and chose one of his favorite characters to focus on. With Cody's help, I was able to get a screen shot of his actual game listing, and thus could customize it as close as possible.
I was able to use techniques I have used in the past to get my measurements right (tracing the fondant from a paper printout), and slowly it all came together surprisingly sharp. I tweaked the shield a little to fit with the color of fondant I had available, and used it along with the circles to fill in where it felt too empty. The best part was that since the cake was flat, it traveled very well to the cottage where we celebrated with the extended DJ family. While most people had no idea what they were looking at (Leon), those cousins who knew the game and this character were impressed with my work.
