This cake is based on the painting ‘Modest Girl’ by Leonid Afremov. It was my first attempt at an ‘art’ themed cake and I did not think I could pull it off but the lady who ordered this was totally over the moon which was a relief! I made this some time ago but did not post it as I had been worried that it might not be ‘decent’ but many people have assured me that I should as it is art.
The second picture in the gallery shows it alongside his original painting.
The cake is carved as one piece from a 10" chocolate mud cake.
I loved making this and after this cake I gained the confidence to attend an oil painting workshop to gain more knowledge about painting onto cakes! (daft, isn’t it?).
The cake is personalised (Spanner is the birthday boy’s nickname) and as he is a builder I made the candle holders to look like rusty old nuts and bolts. Here it is all lit up!
Anyway, I do hope this doesn’t offend anyone. I will of course remove it straight away if this breaks any rules.
Wishing you all a very happy New Year! :)
Love to you all
Fiona
