Morning. Just wondering about your cakes. Do you ever send out orders of any kind? I was thinking of ordering something special next year for my daughters Birthday present.

Question: What kind and size of tin did you use for the actual cake?

CakeUpStudio In reply to CodeofSpoken [2014-07-13 23:35:27 +0000 UTC]

oh I baked it in bowl that I usually use for cereal. so I baked two hemispheres and started carving from that point. to see the size check my dA ID or this photo

I have another question: approximately how big was the bowl you used to make the cake? In diameter? 

Thanks!

mine was a bit over 13 cm but obviously you can use different sizes depending on how big cake you want to end up with

Okay so did you stack the hemisphere cakes on top of each other or...?

yes, I made a ball of cake layered with cream and than started cutting and curving. before you ask - the leftover part I cut from the base of skull was used to create the front (teeth)

Also: how did you make the skull brownish, you know, dirty, if you know what I mean? And how did you make the cracks?

CakeUpStudio In reply to CodeofSpoken [2014-07-14 10:13:17 +0000 UTC]

you know you can brush and paint fondant after it dries with food colors and/or cacao deppending desired effect. so cacao+powdered food dye for brushing it dirty and liquid/gel dye for painting cracks

What a fun macabre cake. I actually want to know what the earthworm is made of. Fondant or is it a gummy? Unrelated note but I love your logo. Very clever.

you are one curious creature! but I also always have unlimited amount of questions in my sleeve so... eartworm is a gummy, it was one of those covered in some sour powder, that's what gives it matt finish. also it had some blue parts that I didn't like so I covered one of them with 'dirt' and the other one with leaf

If I had to ask for a random delicious cake, I would totally ask for this.
I love skulls (even if I was really scared of them when I was a kid XD)

CakeUpStudio In reply to Zilkenian [2014-03-09 21:59:36 +0000 UTC]

hehe, gotta love the skull I think I was more fascinated than scared but somehow I could never convince my parents to get me one for Christmas

I was scared of a lot of things as a kid, and know are the things I love the most.
What happened?
Me + watching horror things every single night for 2 months + drawing about it.
