Export thread

As I mentioned in a few other threads, my wife runs a cake business (which has been doing awesomely, thanks to all the televised cake shows lately). I do the fondant sculptures. I put some of them in JCM's Indiana Jones cake thread last year.

Anyway, here's the cakes I made for my own kids this year.

First, my daughter's 3rd birthday. She requested Abby Cadabby. Specifically Abby's Flying Fairy School, which is a segment from Sesame Street for those without kids.




Second, my son's 7th birthday cake is Ben 10 Alien Force.

Oh, and everything is edible. Unlike Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss where the sculptures barely qualify as cake since they're 90% wood or pipe. I have a wire or two, but that's it.

Those look pretty sweet.

I wish I could make fantastic looking cakes!

Thanks for the compliments. I was disappointed in the Ben 10 figures. Fondant is really hard to sculpt. It's not like clay. It doesn't have as much internal strength. You can fix that with some gum paste or a cellulose powder called Tylose, but it's still not great. People end up fat bottomed because gravity makes everything pear-shaped. Plus it tastes like crap. Which is why my wife and I refuse to cover cakes in fondant, even though that's the latest trend. Sure, it looks pretty. But it tastes like sweet play-doh.

I would've reused the old thread, but it was closed. Anyway, here's some Megamind figures I made for one of my son's friends.

Megamind and Tighten (yes, it's Tighten, not Titan--I found that out when "Titan" returned almost no results from Google images).

Wow, that's cool.

Abra Cadabra!

Looks cool, Fade! Hella good sculpting skills!
