Steak and Grill Cake

Hello, everyone my name is Candice and I have been spending some of my free time making cakes for different occasions. Recently I made a cake for my father's work. He works at a steakhouse so I designed a cake based on his place of work. The main part of the cake is made with two layers of red velvet cake the top of which had Oreo cookies cooked into the top of it so it looks like burning charcoal under the "grill plate." Then i made the two steaks with a thin layer of cake left over from leveling out the main cake then covered it in fondant to resemble the texture and color of steaks. Some of the cake is covered in fondant I made my scratch, I don't think that i put enough powdered sugar in the mix because it was hardening the way I would have liked so I ended up buying a tub of fondant which I also used on some of the more important parts that needed to be sturdy. The over all cake didn't come out as neat as I would have liked.
