Well I was asked to do a boat cake for a colleague of my as she has a little cruiser along the Thames. This was probably my most challenging Cake to do and hadn't really worked too much before on carving and shaping cakes.
I tackled it in a construction type manor, cutting the overall shape first, then carving into two, base of cake and top half. Next needed to shape the invidual halves by tapering in etc, sugarcrumb coat it and then cover in paste. Next stage was applying the filling for the cake before putting the two halves together, moulding and sealing the paste together, Then lastly addings the other structures to the cake.
Once this had all dried overnight all other decoartions could be added!
This one is a lemon based sponge with lemon buttercream filling with a little lemon curd.
