And the making off:

I asked a Pastry Chef friend of mine for help, so in fact she did more than me in the process, as she's got the knowledge I needed to win this :P

First we moulded a chocolate Genoise/Sponge Cake

Then we cut it to add a vanilla Butter Cream filling with walnut sliver.

We colored ourselve some Almond Paste in pink, purple and white... for the icing!

Was really fun to do! My friend wants to do another one, we well see, maybe but I told her than now the tin will go back to my collection storage :)

It was a really hard job, and yes it was delicious. But as those cakes are usually more "visual" than good, in regard of the ingredients, it was a little fat too :lol:

Well I'm glad you finally saw it. I couldn't find any picture of one before I did mine, that's true.

Post by: Mewtwofan1 on May 12, 2018, 10:23:32 PM: It looks positively wonderful! I have little baking skills, so I can’t really offer much critique on technique or something. But it looks amazing! Question: does it taste as good as it looks? I mean, it’s a work of art, so it would be heartbreaking to eat and destroy that pony food goodness. But is it as good as it appears?

It taste good. But not as fantastic as it looks. It's more a "visual" cake as it's make to looks great, but then the ingredient needed aren't specially the most interresting in taste. As well, I choose almond paste as it's better than sugar paste (fondant), more difficult to work with but definely improves the whole taste :biggrin:

It was really hard to cut into. But well, it's food so if you want to keep it forever it's gonna be wasted :blush:

Thanks for the eyes. First time I drawed with melted chocolat, wasn't pretty comfortable so it's not as perfect as I wished. But well, in the end, the cake was rewarding to see!

Post by: Carebearnmbr46 on May 14, 2018, 11:51:45 PM: Aww, it’s Twilight! That’s an adorable cake and you guys did a really great job. Now if only a pegasus cake could be made that had wings as nicely molded as that horn you made. Wilton didn’t make a pegasus mold, did they? Sure would be cute! :)

It was hard, but once it's done, you get consolation from the cake's taste :blush:

No they didn't do a unicorn nor a pegasus, earth pony only. I hesitated between a earth pony to fit the mold and my favorite (Twilight) then decided I should go for my fave and do the horn myself. It's almond paste sculpted on a tooth pick, so you'll need to use that kind of tricks to do a pegasus as well ;)

Tasted good. And also, making a genoise isn't that hard... at least with a pastry chef friend and her knowledge :read:
