Cake Sculpting

My son, Tom works for Disney Animation Studios, and he has lately been taking a sculpting class as one of the perks of working for Disney. Here is his latest project ... not bad for his first attempt at sculpting ...

So, this week I had my turn at sculpting ... first time to sculpt "Toothless," Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon. He's not perfect, but not bad for my first attempt...



Here is the finished cake, which I decorated for a sweet 13 year old girl for Icing Smiles. The cake was chocolate with chocolate mint mousse filling and covered with chocolate/vanilla marbled fondant. The book and "Toothless" were modeled from RK Treats and modeling chocolate. Warning: When using black airbrush color in your airbrush, be prepared to clean up fine black mist throughout your entire work area. 



The happy customer ...

So Tom, how did I do?
