A fourth Birthday Monster

This was my eldest sons 4th birthday cake.  We opted for a 3D monster.  It was a mix of both buttercream and fondant accents.  This cake actually wasn't too bad for troubles.  That is apart from the arms.... the arms are fondant covered dowels.  My lack of cake knowledge...  I had some real trouble getting them to look right so I ended up piping buttercream on top of the arms.  Plus seeing as how I had opted for a softish cake I was terrified that they would rip down the cake - they didn't.

Also seeing as how I can't seem to track down a digital photo of just the monster you all just kind of have to squint and look closely.  He was a very happy boy.

I must add that this design is a Wilton cake design.
