Since last Saturday was the "game of the century" against Alabama and we got invited to a party, I decided to do an LSU cake for the event. I love the vintage LSU tiger and see him all over the place lately, so I decided to tackle him in fondant and edible marker.
It was not as easy as I thought it would be. In fact, my first attempt was a complete disaster that I angrily crumpled and tossed in the trash. I then made a simpler design for the top - a paw, but just couldn't stop thinking about how badly I wanted to do the tiger. So, after a bit of rethinking my process, I gave it another shot and finally got it just how I wanted it. It's the 1947 LSU Tiger mascot logo.
Here is the throwback/vintage tiger -
