Description
Hi, my name is Sylwia Szajter-Zió?ek.
For doing this 3D cake I chose my favorite picture. I baked two kinds of pie: a red velvet with beets and the other one - with carrot and orange. I also made a ganache of dark and white chocolate for the next section. The whole is covered with buttercream. I used one internal dowel in whole and some support straws. I used home made modeling chocolate for the sculpting and fondant to do the heads of snakes, spiders, bird and pearls. I made flowers with gum paste and red painted wafer paper. The butterfly was also made with wafer paper.
It took me two days to make the main body of the cake. It was only the second day that I could carve a face, hair and begin to paint. I painted mostly with an airbrush, occasionally using a brush. It took a while to cool the dough... At the end I could add all the elements needed to create the whole.
The cake was divided among many guests of one of the confectionery events in which I participated in, and as they literally gorged on it, I myself was left with nothing but small bits and crumbs... :)
