Crawfish Boil Cake

This is a four-layer cake wrapped in gray fondant to resemble a pot of boiling crawfish trying to escape! First, I covered a 12"x12" cake board with alternating red and white squares to resemble a tablecloth then placed the stacked cakes on it. Then, I covered an 8" cardboard circle to make the lid. The crawfish are made with red fondant. This cake was the centerpiece of the party!
