A Bitch Proud cake by Katherina Perez

Description

Hi everyone! I am so happy to participate in this contest!
I chose this image because I like 3d cakes and dogs, so this was perfect for me!.
This cake took 9 hours from baking to decorating...there is not sticks, wires or nothing inside the cake...because the image doesn't require it...so it's all cake!
Here the process:
1. I sculpted the head in two moments, first only the head and neck, then crumb coat with ganache and in the second moment I added the mouth and some volume in the neck, second layer of ganache, carved the eyes and smoothed all with hot water.
2. I added some fondant touches in the face to accentuate the eyelids, nose and mouth. Then I covered with white fondant and made some texture in the hair.
3. Airbrushed, first with a mix of Blu and Green, then a bit of yellow towards the bottom and then I did some shadows with black in the face, under the mouth and hair.
4. I made the label and the flowers with fondant mixed with Tylose powder.
5. Finally, the assembly of the ornaments, painted the eyes and some blue airbrush in the flowers.
