Description
This is my first time to enter the Threadcakes competition. When I saw this design it really struck a cord with me. I am a children's book illustrator who likes to use cake and sugar in my illustrations. I call it Cakelustration. It was a lot of fun to create this cake. I also like to use unusual things like lights or motors in my cakes.
My daughter helped me bake a spicy chocolate cake. We added cayenne into the mix! We did this the day before I created the Electric Tree. This chocolate cake has chocolate ganache between it's layers and is covered in buttercream and modeling chocolate. I probably spent over 12 hours on this cake. The lights are covered with gelatin bubbles in different shades blue, gold and white. I used edible petal dust in the gelatin. To finish, I painted the modeling chocolate with edible food gels.
The children and books are made of modeling chocolate and also painted with edible food gels.
I hope you enjoy my cake we sure did!
