Hi all,

This is my piece for the Penny Dreadful collab, inspired by the costumes in the 1992 movie, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The love story between Vlad the Impaler and his wife Elisabeta spoke to me, and the idea that even monsters might have become that way because of a wounded soul – and might still find redemption – so I chose those scenes of the film on which to base this cake. Don’t forget to stop by the collab Facebook page and say hi! there are some truly amazing pieces there, and it was my honour to work with such incredible artists.

You can see tutorials including video footage for how I made this cake, the muscle armour, the embroidered dragon and the cracked mirror topper at my blog, http://ffeabysawsen.com/2015/08/23/making-penny-dreadful-cake/

Thanks for looking,
Sawsen
