Sculpted cakes


I'm not a huge fan of fondant. Tastes waaaaay too sugary and has the consistency of play dough. Which is great if you're 3. However , as yucky as it tastes, you can make some awesome sculpted cakes with fondant. My pastry chef friend went into labor early and so a couple co-workers and I decorated all the cakes for her last weekend. Shaping this Crown Royale cake was challenging but super fun. I felt like a surgeon making precise cuts and placing the fondant perfectly, knowing there was no going back so I better not screw up. The label was made using an edible ink printer. Gotta get me one of those.
