Description
Wooohoooo!!!! I made the deadline lol. After contemplating on whether to enter or not, I decided to just do it... it just so happened to be the day before the deadline (what was I thinking). I specialize in 3D sculpted cakes, so this was definitely a challenge and out of my comfort zone. I am happy with how it came out and already have a design for next year and promise not to procrasticake ever again!
The cake is red velvet iced in royal icing so I could get a hard canvas to work on. I covered it in Renshaw fondant and place a dried gumpaste plaque on top so my brushes had a lot of resistance and a nice surface to glide over. The whole thing is painted in Cocoa Butter and colored with petal dusts and Trucolor, an all natural food coloring.
Hope you enjoy!
