That is just brilliant and you did a superb job. Well done :-)

Thanks guys. I keep getting orders for helicopters and aircraft now, so I think I might have baked myself into a niche!

How did you make the rota blades Kirsty? x

fancythat, I tried just gumpaste to begin with but it was just too long and would break under its weight. To keep it light enough I ended up getting some balsar wood from a hobby store and scultping it up using a knife. It was nice and light and just had a thin layer of gumpaste over it, just glued on with vodka. Obviously there was a centre dowel through the cake for the rotor to connect to. :)

Hi Kristy. This is truly amazing! I was asked to make a helicopter cake for a friends son. I wanted to make it look realistic not like a cartoon and then I saw your cake. Wow!! How did you get the tail to stay up?

Hi Rokisi,

The body and tail are on a wood and dowel frame I built to support it. The tail is a woodern dowel with gumpaste built around it. Everything else is fondant and gumpaste or cake! Your friends son will be one lucky fella, this cake took several weeks of planning, building, baking and decorating.
