Party On Mike!!

 This is the character Mike form Monsters Inc. It is all cake, even the gift package he is holding.  It is covered in green fondant then decorated with additional fondant pieces. He stood about fourteen inches tall. Happy Birthday to a lucky little one!!
 
    Here is a close up of his little hands and feet. His claws were white with light dusting of mushroom colored pedal dust for added dimension.

All proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund through the Breast Cancer 3-Day.
