Inspired on Tim Burton’s Alice in wonderland movie, the customer wanted a Cheshire Cat cake but not a “cartoony” face one. So I manage to sculpt this shape using a red velvet cake which was the most difficult part as the cake was not really hard enough to create the shape but after few hours on the fridge I got a good consistency to start carving and I covered it with butter cream to start getting a smooth finishing before applying the fondant to it.
Used light grey color fondant and them used loads of luster dust for the different shades on the face. All the face parts were all make by hand with fondant. I wanted to put light inside the eyes but didn’t got enough time to do it. The Hat is also red velvet cake.
I also did the cupcakes to match the cake…. Love Alice going “down the whole..”.
