Penguin 3D Birthday Day Cake

I made this cake for my good friend's birthday last year. It was a lot of fun to do. She absolutely loves penguins to the point of obsession so it was very exciting to do this for her. I definitely enjoy doing 3D cakes. A lot of the pictures are blurry because they were taken with my phone camera. 

I definitely learned that when you need a lot of black frosting, to use chocolate buttercream instead of tinting white black. Live and learn! This was a chocolate mocha pound cake with buttercream frosting. Well enjoy!
