Elegant Halloween Cake

This is a cinnamon/chocolate "Mad-Hatter/Whimsical" cake - Fun but difficult to do, it takes ages to get the off-proportions right! The pumpkin is a dummy, the rest is all edible. Luckily there are leftovers to bring to work tomorrow :-)

I think that has to be it with the Halloween stuff for this year - now whats next, christmas maybe? Yay! :-)

Gothicat

 -Or something... This is the Halloween dummy I´ve been talking about..

It´s 24 cm tall and painted black with a sponge on dark grey sugarpaste.  Eyes are painted in different shades of yellow/green with gold- antique gold- and copper lustre dusts. Looks reeeeally cool in RL. Even cooler than this:



The skull is hand-molded in sugarpaste with a dresden tool.

Spidey does´nt show to well on photos, so here he is:

The legs are Royal Icing on wires, since nobody is going to eat it anyway.

So now i´ve made average Halloween cakes, rustic Halloween cakes - only thing missing is an elegant Halloween cake... Stay tuned :)

Halloween Coming up.

I´m in Halloween-mode these days - Love these seasons that makes it make sense to do little fun projects now and again - often in the middle of the night.
I made these two are dummies when i was home alone mostly because i need to practice my Royal Icing skills.


Right now i´ve just finished a really dark, gothic -and maybe a little bit scary- Halloween mini cake (also a dummy) in three tiers with some more Royal Icing work. Just need some daylight to photograph it.

Home Alone

I´m having a feast today!  All alone in the house, nobody disturbing and Anden on DVD in the background on repeat. Can it get any better?? I think not :-)
I recieved a much expected parcel from Squires the other day, and have been waiting impatiently to try these babies out!

I made a few small dummies last night and a lot of preparations - went to bed at 3.30 - and today i finished up, and rushed to take photos before daylight is gone:

Today is a great day - wishing you all the same! :-)

When i was in Sweden at Scandinavian Cakeshow, i got the chance to see Alice L again, and buy a copy of her first book - something i´ve been really looking forward to! When i was introduced to this fantastic world of sugar 5 or 6 years ago, she was one of the persons that really amazed me with her great skills and talent. Thank you Alice for signing my book, your words means a lot to me! You´re the best! :-)
