Can anyone tell me about Thun cakes

I’ve just been searching, and looking at a few tutorials, it seems the style of Thun cakes comes from Italy.
It’s a sort of thicker more 3D effect of decoration. Might have a go at one?

Thanks so much Penny Sue xx
I couldn’t find anything about where the style comes from but I really like them.
They have an ‘old’ look about them like hand crafted wood. I wondered if they were from Germany because they sort of remind me of Hummel ornaments. I think I’m going to work the style into a cake soon too. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with xx Thanks again xx :-)

Hi Karen, this link might answer some questions, there’s a small history of the thun ceramics and origins, they are Italian indeed. Thun cakes are very popular in Italy, I made this one using a thun-style angel decoration

. Hope this will help :-)

Thank you so much Adelina xx Your cake is stunning. I love the ‘antique’ look you get with this style of cake decorating. And thank you for the link too. I’ll settle down with a cup of tea and enjoy reading all about Thun this evening. Thanks again xx

Thank you Karen, glad you liked my cake and that I couldn help 🤗 xxx

Just to say I’ve watched the link Adelina and it was really interesting. Now I so want to go there and do some shopping!! I bet it’s fantastic there at Christmas xx thanks again xxxxx

I’ve got that little angel Karen! I’ve just looked underneath her and she is indeed marked Thun! I visited a shop in Italy the last time we were there and saw lots of Thun.I just didn’t realise it! x

Wow! there you go xx
I’d love to go to the area they’re made in at Christmas. I bet it’s magical x

I bet it is Karen. I love that cake too.My little angel watches over a wedding photo of Enzo and me and also a lovely photo of my late parents.xx
