Cool Homemade Nerfgun CS-6 Recon Cake

This cake I made for my son’s 11th birthday. He had a Nerfgun battle party.

I made most of the cake out of regular cake mix. The connectors on the back

end of the gun are Orea Cookie straws. I tried my hand for the first time at making

my own fondant so I could cover certain parts of the cake. I made the nerf bullets

out of fondant. The ammo clips are made out of Rice Krispie treats shaped and then

covered with fondant. The handle of the gun is covered in fondant. The rest of the

cake is just covered by buttercreme frosting. I was inspired by a cake I found on line

and then added and emblished to complete what I wanted. The gun looks much like

one that my son has. He loved the cake……It was a lot of work but worth the smiles!
