Description
Sadly, I learned about this contest awhile back, but only had a chance to create something this weekend. I noticed many of my first choices had been done already (and done awesomely!) so I decided to do something a bit different.
The cake is Funfetti, and the frosting is buttercream tinted blue. I made the "glass" by using a hard candy recipe (sugar + corn syrup) and pouring it into a mold I made out of silicone. Actually, the mold I have is of a full beer bottle - but for this cake I only poured the sugar into the lower part of the mold - not the neck.
The 'dream cloud,' the straw, and the ice cube are all made of gumpaste. I used black food gel color for the drawing and accents. The support was necessary to pull this one off - but it is completely edible -Linguine!
