Coolest Eagle Scout Court of Honor Cake 14

Homemade Eagle Scout Court of Honor Cake
My son finally received his Eagle Scout rank (yay!) and as part of his Court of Honor, I wanted to celebrate with an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Cake. This cake is a 2 layer, coconut rum cake covered in marshmallow fondant. The bottom layer is decorated with the gold scout fleur de lis which I cut out of fondant with a cookie cutter. The second layer is reminiscent of a flag with stars and the red/white/blue color scheme. The top of the cake signifies the Eagle badge that he received.
I hand-molded the Eagle out of fondant and made the markings with a toothpick, then brushed the whole eagle in silver cake dust. For the rope around the top layer, I laid very thick ropes of red, white and blue fondant next to each other and rolled them together like a snake until it was the thickness I desired. I think the rope was the hardest part for me to figure out, it took a few tries to get a technique that worked without the fondant breaking!
