Dragon Heart cake by Katryna Robinson

Description

The first thing I did was edit the image to look more like Angelina Jolie's version of Maleficent. I also made the colors brighter, the roses redder.

The cake is a red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream. I carved the shape of the cake a la Mike McCarey and used his new cutout class as inspiration for this cake. The black part is modeling chocolate, and the face and arms are fondant. The flowers are made of gumpaste and brushed with silver luster dust. It was a bit difficult getting the vines to have a purplish hue, so I painted a part of them white, then brushed that with purple luster dust.

Her face is hand painted with luster dust and food coloring (plus vodka). I used various modeling tools to sculpt the crow.

The cake was brought to my job as an "after-Halloween" cake.

I hope you enjoy my design!
