Winter is coming

No.  Seriously y'all.  It feels like it should be snowing today.  

My December has been rather slow for cakes which is fine with me.  I have already prepared 75 small cookie bags for the teachers at my son's school and I have 35 care packages to make next week.  I am okay with slow right now.  

This cake request came in last week.  A neighbor's coworker wanted a simple Game of Thrones cake for her husband.  She found an inspiration picture (below) online through Pinterest.  But she didn't want the banner.  Simple and stuck to a small budget.

Here is my version.  

I went a little brighter on the dire wolf.  I substituted out the mottled texture and went with flecks of white for...well if you are fan and haven't guessed "snow" by now then I am revoking your GOT fan card.  The original cake didn't have a border so I thought I would have a little fun and make some weirwood branches with pops of the red leaves.  I just hope my neighbor's coworker's husband likes it.  It feels like I am playing "Six degrees to Kevin Bacon" here.
