For my 3rd cake last week, I was asked to make a cake for an auction at my old high school, BHS. The French teacher, who was actually my grade 8 English teacher and my brother's since we were in French Immersion, wanted a cake to outdo everyone else. Enough said. I can be very competitive when the mood strikes. It usually doesn't matter what the prize is, just the title of winner is often enough. So, it was not a problem for me to go all out. Judy (when my brother referred to her as Judy the first time, I wondered who he was talking about and then I clued in that he was talking about Mme.) wanted a French themed cake with the Eiffel tower and a frog on it.
I made an 8" and 6" tier, both chocolate. The frog I made out of fondant. I'm still not into making 3D figures but this was small and Googled polymer clay frogs to come up with this design. Not bad if I do say so myself. The Eiffel tower is made from a chocolate mold. The big flowers I made from following the instructions from this video on Making Flowers. I love this technique. It will be repeated again on future cakes.
Judy's class actually won the cake, which is pretty cool.
