There was no brief for this cake, all I knew was that it is for a 27yr old man. It’s tough, visualising a cake when you know nothing about the client or their preferences. So I decided to experiment and use a technique I’d been wanting to try out, while keeping it simple and bold. The monogram is piped in chocolate, then brushed with chocolate and lustred in gold. The sides of the cake are painted chocolate, and lustred with a brush.
