Rock'em Sock'em Grooms Cake

This week I met with a couple that were interested in a cake I did a long time ago. It was a Rock'em Sock'em Robots cake (sorry about the quality of the photos, I don't know what happened to them!), Looking back through my old photos, I remember having such a good time making this cake. Even though we technically cheated by using the robots and the ring posts, there was still a lot we had to figure out.

We used hot glue, floral wire, and skewers to create "extenders" on the posts and the robots so that we could seat them in the cake properly. Now that I think of it, this may have been where I came up with my monogram extension method I mentioned some time ago.

The most fun part of this cake was making the bride and groom outfits for the robots. The groom's tux is made from that foamy construction paper stuff and the bride's outfit is made from genuine faux pearls and some netting for the veil. Here's a closer view:
