Horse Cake for Uncle Craig

My Uncle Craig likes horses. This horse was an attempt to try using fondant again. I think I did a pretty good job. Instead of dyeing the fondant, I painted it with a mixture of Wilton gel dye and pure Lemon extract. I used a paintbrush to paint it, but it gave it an illusion of wood grain. Really cool affect if you want wood so maybe next time I'll see if sponging would work better.
