Boob Pie

Dear all,

Another Wednesday, another pie!

This time a friend and I got real creative for another friend's birthday. My friend suggested making a cake in the shape of boobs, for the birthday girl who god has been so generous to. Of course I had to take this challenge!

First off, we decided to use carrot cake, just because it's soo yummy! So off I went grating carrots and chopping walnuts. In retrospect maybe the walnuts were not the best idea because they are annoying when sculpting cake, but as you shall see, it all worked out.



After making a massive amount of carrot cake, baked in one square and one rectangular baking tin, it was time to sculpt. We cut the square cake in half to create the shoulders, by placing the two halves next to eachother, and the rectangular cake was sculpted into the full bosom.



A good idea of my partner in crime was to use marsipan to cover the cake. So after covering the fully sculpted cake with butter cream icing, my friend rolled out the marsipan and covered the cake, giving it its 'skin'. So here you see a block of marsipan, and how it turns a simple carrot cake into a creation. It's starting to look good!



The birthday girl also happens to keep pet rats, and so my creative partner used food colouring to colour some more marsipan, and made 2 rather cute yet devilish red-eyed rats to go with the cake!



After turning the cake into pasty boobs, it was time to transport the cake to the birthday girl's building, where my friend also lives, to finish off the decoration. After (barely?) surviving the cycle ride over, it was time for some cream cheese icing. Fuchsia coloured, cream cheese icing. Oh yeah baby!



So off I went covering the cake in cream cheese icing to make it look like a very bright pink shirt. We finished the cake off with the 2 cute rats and a boob pie was made!
















Look, it's actually life-size!!! ;)



Of course the cake looked just as good on the inside as it did on the outside, and it was generally de-licious!



One more happy customer! Here's the birthday girl and my creative partner in crime enjoying the fruits of our labour (what an icky experession).



Until next week!
