there is actually a rib cage and spine under the cake made of white chocolate, but they were very brittle and didn't work like i wanted, but it still looked cool. i made them by squeezing a back of the melted chocolate frosting style onto a big sheet of wax paper, then gluing it together with more chocolate.

all the organs (heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach, gall bladder) are all different cakes with a different gut like fruit filling. they were each wrapped in fondant(my fist time) and hand painted with mixed food coloring. it was pretty much life sized, although some organs were bigger than they probably would be. i got the number of ribs and vertebra right, because i'm a freak like that.
