This is the Winter Wonderland Cake that I made for My neices 18th Birthday…You Can see a bigger image on flicka
She had no idea that I was making it and was Gobsmacked when she saw it…
The finishing touch is that when I turned on the power the fire glowed, large image on flicka…To make the Electric fire I covered a shallow box with glad wrap and placed it upside down under the cake, I cut a small hole in the box to fit the light from a small lamp and I cut a slightly larger hole in cake so that I could place a shot glass over the globe to protect it from the icing…Once I had the structer in place, see image of naked cake below, it was simpley a matter of crinkling a small piece of red cellophane and placeing it over the light with a few twigs and flake chocolate rocks.
Below is an image of the Naked Cake that shows how I built up the shape and the hole with the shot glass covering the electric light bulb.
Cake anyone…It didn’t look so good after the party but it was the funnest cake I have ever made.
The frosty icing is made by dribbling boiling sugar syrup into beaten egg whites…It was a bit tricky to make but after 3 batches I had it mastered…It is a lovely icing to work with, very, very sticky and Ohh so yummy.
