A Sweet Life Cakery

Thanks Danielle for allowing me to make this for you.  I always enjoy creating new and interesting designs in cake.

The cake is a marble cake with a layer of buttercream and ganache.  The cakes were stacked and then carved to give it somewhat of the shape I needed.  I then iced with ganache to give it a smooth finish.  I then covered with fonant and embelished with all the do-dads that are typically on a Camaro. 

When creating a cake like this it's helpful to scour the internet for photos of the object you are carving so you can try to capture some of the details.  As you can see in the background, I actually had a toy model, in addition to photos, to help me visualize the shape.  Sometimes these cakes would seem to be easy to make but quite frankly, they are very much a challenge.  I giggle because I know I have a bit of OCD so I have to stop myself from fiddling with the cake because I see details and imperfections that most people will not even notice.  Makes me crazy though. 

Here are a couple of pictures.
