After browsing through the extensive library of the Threadless T-shirt designs which I enjoyed very much, I got excited when I saw Budi Satria Kwan’s design “Watering”. I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake. The internal structure is made out of threaded steel rods bent to simulate the deer’s legs which hold the platform for the main cake to sit on. The trees were made out of edible wafer paper. I used paper punches to cut out leaves and dyed each one with food color and let it set to dry which gave its natural curves. I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety. I sculpted the head and the legs out of rice krispy treats and the antlers and the birds out of fondant. Day 2, I filled and stacked my cakes, sculpted the body and coated it with white chocolate ganache, let it chill for a few hours , covered the entire cake with fondant and then back to the fridge to chill for a few more hours. (I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety. I sculpted the head and the legs out of rice krispy treats and the antlers and the birds out of fondant. Day 2, I filled and stacked my cakes, sculpted the body and coated it with white chocolate ganache, let it chill for a few hours , covered the entire cake with fondant and then back to the fridge to chill for a few more hours. (I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

After browsing through the extensive library of the Threadless T-shirt designs which I enjoyed very much, I got excited when I saw Budi Satria Kwan’s design “Watering”. I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake.

(I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

After browsing through the extensive library of the Threadless T-shirt designs which I enjoyed very much, I got excited when I saw Budi Satria Kwan’s design “Watering”. I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake. The internal structure is made out of threaded steel rods bent to simulate the deer’s legs which hold the platform for the main cake to sit on. The trees were made out of edible wafer paper. I used paper punches to cut out leaves and dyed each one with food color and let it set to dry which gave its natural curves. I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety.

I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake. The internal structure is made out of threaded steel rods bent to simulate the deer’s legs which hold the platform for the main cake to sit on. The trees were made out of edible wafer paper. I used paper punches to cut out leaves and dyed each one with food color and let it set to dry which gave its natural curves. I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety. I sculpted the head and the legs out of rice krispy treats and the antlers and the birds out of fondant. Day 2, I filled and stacked my cakes, sculpted the body and coated it with white chocolate ganache, let it chill for a few hours , covered the entire cake with fondant and then back to the fridge to chill for a few more hours. (I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety. I sculpted the head and the legs out of rice krispy treats and the antlers and the birds out of fondant. Day 2, I filled and stacked my cakes, sculpted the body and coated it with white chocolate ganache, let it chill for a few hours , covered the entire cake with fondant and then back to the fridge to chill for a few more hours. (I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

After browsing through the extensive library of the Threadless T-shirt designs which I enjoyed very much, I got excited when I saw Budi Satria Kwan’s design “Watering”. I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake.

(I was concentrating too much that I forgot to take photos of me sculpting the cake! But I do have crumbs and cuttings to show lol!) Later in the evening, I hand painted and airbrushed the cake and the cake board. Day 3, I decorated my deer sculpture with edible trees, took lots of photos and then rushed over to Nickelodeon for the Gallery opening and serve the cake. A lot of people didn’t know it was cake, at first. It made quite an impression. Some opposed to it being sliced, but later some began to cheer “Cut that cake!”… And so I did!

After browsing through the extensive library of the Threadless T-shirt designs which I enjoyed very much, I got excited when I saw Budi Satria Kwan’s design “Watering”. I did consider some other designs but I kept coming back to this one. So I told my dear husband that I am entering an online cake contest and showed him my pick. Of course he agreed it would be great if we were to render this design into an edible work of art.I told him that I would like to serve the cake to his lunch buddies at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. He agreed. Later that week he told me that their department is sponsoring an art gallery which will exhibit their crew and family’s artworks. So ours was an edible sculpture, much to the delight of hungry art patrons. And so the process begins….
The entire cake is about 18” tall and 16” wide. The internal supports and trees were made ahead of time before constructing the cake. The internal structure is made out of threaded steel rods bent to simulate the deer’s legs which hold the platform for the main cake to sit on. The trees were made out of edible wafer paper. I used paper punches to cut out leaves and dyed each one with food color and let it set to dry which gave its natural curves. I attached the leaves to Gumpaste floral wires to make the branches and put them together with floral tape to make the trees. I finished it with some airbrushing to add dimension.
The cakeis Matcha Green Tea flavor filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and green tea Swiss buttercream. I had 3 days to work on this cake and serve it. Day 1, I baked the cake, made Ganache, Swiss buttercream and Rice Krispy treats. I covered the legs and head supports with plastic wrap for food safety.
