Here's the latest cake! A very specific request this time for a Darth Vader cake!
I worked with the cake mainly from online images of an actual Darth Vader tin Wilton make. I used it as a gude and reference for carving the cake and later adding the details. This was definitely a cool one to make, and not as stressful as I anticipated! One of the most enjoyable parts was actually in covering the cake board. I decided that rather than doing one solid colour I would try my hand at marbelling. So I took some strips of dark blue, light blue, black and white fondant, sprinkled in points with silver dust. With a few twists and turns and then rolling it out, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It really made the cake stand out and also added some nice additional detail. For the Birthday message, I used the Clickstix Groovy lower case letter cutters I recently got.
All in all, a very enjoyable cake to make, and it looks fairly cool!
