This was my first toilet bowl cake. Apparantly, there is a bunch of these made, be it for an "Over the Hill" birthday, plumber school graduation or just to be funny. I researched the web for ideas before I started and was amazed at some of the toilet cakes that have been created. Buddy on the "The Cake Boss" made one that actually flushed--mine does not!! Most of the cakes were saying "Everything turns to S*** after ##. We decided to change it up for younger eyes.
I had some trouble with structure and getting the cake for the bowl to stay up--so it looks like its tilting- oh well. I don't think it's too bad for my first try. The tank is made out of RKT and I built a support platform for that to sit on out of a cardboard box. The lid is a styrofoam board that I wrapped in fondant. I made the water from piping gel and added some blue coloring. The "poo" is chocolate buttercream. The board is also covered in fondant - I measured out squares and then painted them to look like a bathroom tiled floor. And of course, you can't have a toilet without a plunger nearby.
All in all, I think it turned out ok. Of course, I am my biggest critic--well maybe 2nd to my husband. -- but he is also my biggest fan! It took me 7 hours to make start to finish with several breaks in between.
I hope the birthday boy gets a kick out of it!!
