How to make
First, take a printout of the Groot image, so you can have a better idea to design and color it face perfectly.
Now, place the picture as a trace on the cake you have baked, cut its face shape with sharp knife leaving clean edges. Cover the cake with lots of chocolate icing and make two holes for eyes and put more chocolate icing on it so that it gets smooth and is covered in thick coat of chocolate.
When the base gets ready, cover it with layer of chocolate fondant. Gently press it with hands and carve lines over the cake to give it real tree trunk like look.
Now place two chest nut chocolate balls in place of eyes and garnish it with food colors and green fondant.
When the head is ready, put it on base plate and give the plate real galaxy background – draw stars and dust with edible metallic spray and paint colors.
