There was quite possibly more planning and structural assembly in this cake than in any other cake I’ve done!
There was a lot of contemplation as to how I was going to do Humpty… Whether to do a cake wall with a sugar paste egg, or a cake wall with a rice krispy treat egg, or do everything in cake…
I went with the last option and sculpted Humpty and the wall out of cake and I was very pleased with how he came out – albeit a little lopsided!
:P
I was a nervous wreck transporting this cake to the birthday boy’s house! I was cradling it gingerly all the way there, terrified it would fall over in the car and Humpty would be smashed.
Its vanilla cake layered and covered with chocolate butter icing before being covered with sugar paste.
They were thrilled with their cake!
