I Love Lucy Retro TV Baby Shower Mini Cakes
My test run of these cakes didn't turn out so hot, and at that point I decided the best way to make these square mini cakes was to get square muffin tins. Fortunately there was one store only half-an-hour away that carried them. What can I say, I'm a kitchen store geek. Kitchen Kaboodle, Sur la Table, Williams-Sonoma, they all make me drool when I walk into them.

Half of the mini cakes I left rounded on top...

...And the other half I trimmed off the tops to make them cubes.
4 Rows of 4 Colors
The screens were just printouts of two scenes from the I Love Lucy show, one from Vitameatavegamin, and the other from The Chocolate Factory, as well as the Title, which I apparently didn't take any pictures of. I glued them to plastic on both sides then completely encased them in gumpaste, and told the customers don't eat them, or the antennas, but everything else is edible!
Antennas
There were two types of antennas I made for the TVs. One was the wild spirally antennas, and the other was the stiff rabbit ears.
