Ned Kelly Cake

I had a request for a Ned Kelly Cake.  I headed to Google, as you do, and quickly realised that wasn’t going to be very helpful!  I was completely stumped.  I knew I didn’t want to do the whole helmet in 3D with fondant but I knew that the helmet would look pretty silly as a flat-style cake (yeah, a rectangle shape with another rectangle piece cut out of it!).  I finally came up with a Wanted poster.  I used a buttercream transfer for the portrait picture and then cut the letters out of candy clay.  The cake needed to be just a little bit wider, but I think it turned out ok in the end.
