I was able to have an actual boxing glove to look at - it helps greatly with accuracy. For the name brand Everlast i searched the internet for photos that I could copy using CorelDraw.

Bottom layer is a cheesecake smothered in chocoate glaze. The "glove" is cake, icing and fondant. My air compressor was on the fritz so this cake is hand painted with a mixture of reds and some brown. I didnt have my edible printer yet so i printed on a piece of transparency - cut it to size and wet the edges to adhere to the cake & to keep it from curling up. Just remember to tell people that it's not edible! Also in need of a stitching tool, fondant tools, cake carving knife.
What was your inspiration?
A woman asked for a carved cheesecake made into a boxing glove for her husband - so this was my suggestion. I didnt want to attempt to carve cheesecake.
What are you most proud of?
I think it turned out real good, I like the "used" look of it. The birthday guy loved it too!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Try to have the real object to see & touch when designing the cake version. Since the bottom tier was cheesecake & needed refrigerating and the top tier was covered in fondant (not refrigerated) I did not stack them together until I was ready to hand it off to the customer.
