Lola the Sugar Showgirl

Meet Lola my entry for Cake International in London 2015 and I am very proud to say she won Best in Show for me.

She is a sugarpaste and modelling chocolate figurine, standing around 20" high, has an internal armature and stands on her high heels onto the board. Her feather fan is wafer/rice paper.

I like to sculpt the body first and then dress the figure, she is all handmade as is her face, no moulds have been used at all.
