This cake was a great learning experience. It helped me to push the limits, step out of my comfort zone. I presented this decorative piece for a cake competition in France and won a place for the final live competition with 2 other fellow cake artists.
It has an internal armature ; most of the pieces are covered with sugar paste, except the light bulb that is covered with home made modeling chocolate.
The theme was : “the inventions”. I chose to represent the greatest inventions of the 19th century, and made my best to give a vintage look to the whole piece. The tower is 70 cm tall (about 28 inches). The board is also covered with fondant.
I added some close ups for you to see the details.
