Wow I cannot believe my last post was back in April 2013 almost a year since then, now.
What can I say hey!
So many cakes made since then, I have genuinely lost count, I have enjoyed making every one of them I must say, some proved to be very challenging. The time and effort spent on some of them was enormous but worth it nevertheless.
The Honda CRV themed cake was definitely one of my most demanding cakes. To tell the truth I enjoyed meeting that challenge, although not many hours of sleep occurred during that period, it all paid off eventually. Designing the car alone took roughly six hours, the end result was phenomenal, pictures don’t do it justice.
I approached this cake with intention of creating a sense of a man driving through the wilderness, loved by many this man’s 50th birthday was a token of appreciation for his life. In those years I can only imagine one has been through so many trials and tribulations, to reach such milestone deserves recognition. I did not want to design the car on it’s own, I wanted to create a plot.
The bible scripture hanging over the cake depicts a man of many beautiful qualities, the drive through wilderness shows a man that will be challenged many times in life but will never lose sight of his beliefs and the road to glory.
We all go through journeys in life, in this cake I chose a moment that some of us find in our journeys, the sense of adventure, excitement and eagerness to endeavour in reaching our destination.
Everything seen in the pictures aside from birthday message is edible, the wilderness is filled with a moist red velvet sponge layered with white chocolate cream; the car itself is traditional Victoria sponge filled with fresh cream and jam.
Leave me your thoughts peeps 🙂
