My hopes for the cake were at a 10, my expectations of how I’d do were at a 2, and I think the outcome was about a 6 :)So everything is set and ready to go, and I’m praying that it all comes together as planned…
The base layer (the carving layer was twice as thick and just slightly smaller)
Made up 3 batches of fondant in total, one pink (above), one white and one chocolate.
The chocolate fudge butter-cream (above) used to stick the fondant to the cake
Carving was fairly straightforward as I had the sketch to go on (see post 1!). I carved out the basic sizes for the hard drive, screen, keyboard, mouse and tea-cup.
It was all a case of putting it together, covering in the fondant and getting the shapes right.
After that, it was all about the finishing touches. I added mini keys to the keyboard using a spatula to indent “keys” and dots of white chocolate to give the appearance of letters. I added a mix of milk and white chocolate to the mug to give the appearance of tea, and of course a birthday message for the BFF in question!
Two days of very hard work was well worth it for the happiness on my BFFs face :D
