Anyway, we decided that for his birthday party, we would make him a Portal 2 Cake. It's a really great video game that I cannot wrap my head around. When the family plays it together, I just watch as they shoot portals, gels., etc. to jump from place to place. It's really intricate and well-done.
The main character in single-player is Chell. I decided to make Chell the main part of the cake.

Then it was time to make fondant, bake cakes and put it all together.
In the rush of the holidays and work, etc. etc. I had exactly one night after work to make the fillings, icing, stack the cake, dirty ice it and put the fondant over it. Needless to say, I ran out of time. My icing did not have time to crust, I did not have time to put an extra layer of icing or even attempt a second fondant layer, and as usual, I got lumpy-looking fondant because the icing below was not totally set.
