In second grade Matthew had to choose something he was curious about and study it not only once but twice. This time he chose cake decorating. Matthew must take after his dad, he loves to decorate and is really good at it.
Matthew designed this cake all by himself. He wanted to make a cake that had two guys fighting by a river of lava. First he started with the crumb coat.

Then he put on the volcano block and added more frosting.
Matthew had to roll out the fondant,
and then shape it around his volcano.
He used red pudding for the lava and chocolate chips for the rocks.
Then he found some Lego men to battle on top of the cake.
I think it turned out awesome! Matthew definitely has some great skills when it comes to designing and decorating cakes!
After Matthew learned about his subject he had to give an oral report to the class. So he made this pull-apart alligator cake to share with the class. It was his first time ever piping on frosting and the picture just doesn't do it justice. He piped it on so it looked like the alligator had real scales! It was so cool!
His teacher was so impressed he got an A+!Way to go Matthew!

What a fun assignment. His cakes look great. I agree with you, he is very talented.
Wow that is such a great job! I wish you lived closer I would have him make my kids cakes.
