I don't have any cake orders this week, so I decide to work on my own project....a skull cake!On Tuesday night I made (4) 8" and (1) 6"Red Velvet cakes. I frozen them to continue work on Wednesday night. So, last night, I pulled them out of the freezer and iced between the layers with plain butter cream dyed red. I put them back in the freezer for about half an hour and then started shaping.
I've never "free-hand" shaped before so I just stood looking at my stack of cakes for about 10 minutes. I finally just dug in. In all, it took me about an hour to shape it and ice the entire cake.
As you can see from the pic, I used a little skull decoration for help. Ultimately, I think my skull cake looks like an Ape skull, rather then a human skull. Hopefully once I put the fondant and coloring on, it will start looking more like a human skull.
I don't think it is too bad, though, for my first time....and for having to artistic talent! =)
