The Whale and the Snail cake by Flourbowl Cakes

Description

The board was covered with foil in order to have a reflective surface. Thou this looks like a 3D cake, it is similar to a 2D in that it was made in a heatproof bowl which made carving much similar to craving a flat sheet of cake. the cake was an egg free mango and cardamom cake and once carved the tail was made from rice krispy treats, using a skewer to insert into the main body of the cake.

The cake was crumb coated and covered with fondant. The water spray at the top was made using wires and covered in cling film to make it safe to be inserted into the cake.

The wave was made from flower paste and left flat to dry. Using edible glue the wave was fixed into place.

I loved making this simple design, however apologies for the uploads as they are of poor quality. I had fun making this and hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
