Why is an Owl Smart? - Cake

Did you know there is a website called Threadcakes? I didn't know until today when I stumbled across this stunning cake titled "Why is an Owl Smart", made for a cake contest on Threadcakes. The cake features an owl wearing reading glasses, perched in the tree and reading a book from his library built in the tree. I love the imagination of the cake artist! The yellow, black and white color palette perfectly depicts the night time. Who knew black will look good on food?

Sorry, I didn't find any instructions, but there are lots of images and a brief info. on the material used for the cake here.
