A Unicorn cake for a friend....triple layer, chocolate and vanilla, swiss chcoclate butter cream, vanilla fondant....I got a piece and it tasted goood...it's nice to actually be able to taste them once in a while.
The 3d head was a great thing to be able to mae....rice crispies and marzipand then a fondant layer....I used shimmer to make it sparkle...one day id like someone to ask me to make a whole horse...I would love to do that.
What a mixture...I have found a new chocolate cake recipe...it delicious but extremely solid and fudgy...it is just like a fudge brownie...so being so rich you can only eat a little...so for this I layers two chocolate and one yellow to make it a little lighter..Chris wanted peanut filling...so it was a three layer chocolate and vanilla cake with butter cream peanut filloing and swiss meringue choclate buttercream frosting!!!! thats a whole lot of flavours. I was assured it tasted fantastic.
A close up of the fondant topper for this cake.....the cake was Yellow with swiss merigue bettercream which I flavoured with real strawberries...the fondant was also flavoured with strawberries...it smelt good. A cute cake, but its delicate, to keep it fresh it needs to be kept in a cool place till cutting time.
I carve this body to the correct shape...his head is rice crispie treats with marzipan and fondant over the top...is arms and legs aree gum paste...so apart fro the internal wores and dowel to keep it all up, he is 100 percent edible. Even his little marshmellow third eye. So as I say, not my prettiest cake, but it was great as a practice in model work. He was a good challenge to make.
