Description
This took me about 4 days to do, when I had some time in between looking after a baby!
The cake is a delicious rich orange madeira, with lemon butter cream. So bad for you, but so good.
The baby godzilla was made from one round cake, quartered and piled on top of each other, then carved. The legs and toy dinosaur were also teeny pieces of cake.
I used fondant to cover the cake, and pastillage for pieces that needed to dry hard, like the trees, cars and robot.
The robot was the hardest part. It was so fiddly, and things kept falling apart but I got there in the end with some patience. I couldn't quite get the robot in the right position without it falling over so had to lean it against a building and the baby godzilla.
I also spent a lot of time making the teeth and nails because there were so many and they were so tiny.
The windows on the buildings were stamped on using the end of a chopstick and food colouring. All other details are fondant or pastillage.
There is one toothpick holding up the toy dinosaur, but everything else is edible.
The baby godzilla was so cute, I felt terrible cutting him open!
