This is my first challenging sculptered cake. I was asked to create a standing Indian Elephant cake. This is how I went about it. First a made a 2 large square chocolate sponges, theses were then stuck together with ganache. I then froze the cakes, to make them firmer for carving.
Once a little defrosted, I was able to start carving the basic shape, cutting aways parts very slowly to create the legs, ears and trunk. I decided the trunk would be down to give extra support to the cake.
Once my elephant was carved, it was case of buttercreaming all around, and once this was dry to add the decorations.
As it was an Indian Elephant I thought this would be a great opportunity to experiment with vibrant colours and decorations like a festival elephant.
I hope you like the end result.
