Cake Decorating: Bobbly Drew

Bobbly Drew

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Advanced Cake Sculpting: Bobbleheads »

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Unisex

Style: Outdoorsy, Hipster


Materials

Modelling chocolate and fondant

What was your inspiration?

A friend commissioned this cake topper for her husband's birthday cake. I sculpted Bobbly Drew from modelling chocolate and fondant using photos as references. While I didn't make a cake, I got the general idea after watching the Mike McCarey's video, and also how to use various angles of person's face as reference. I also learned how to make modelling chocolate from watching Lauren Kitchen's video.

What are you most proud of?

My friend recognised the resemblance to her husband, so I'm very pleased. In addition, her 3-year old niece and her husband's best mate also recognised him. That's the best compliments.

Well done Trish, and giving him a smile and teeth must have been a difficult part... . Mike had it easy with the"still" expression on his project :)
