Its foundation is a gateau, everything else is made of marzipan colored with spetial paint for dishes, except the minerals, which are made of white mint flavoured candies, also colored with that paint. (Becous i haven't found blue candies.) In this way everything made to be eatable on my cake. It took me nearly 2 days to make it, but it was worth the time :D

There are many good cakes, but I think this is the winner, for sure. It's going to be hard to top this. I mean WOW, just wow. Did you eat it? Looks too pretty to eat.

While I respect that its very difficult to make those marzipan cakes, does anyone else feel that its a little unfair to be judging cakes that dont use marzipan against ones that are almost entirely made out of it?
Hey guys! I decided to build a Colossus, which resulted too be much more difficult than I thought it would be. In the end I was also sabotaged by my dog, who really seemed to like the marzipan... Anyway, I don't want to start it over again, so I post the picture which was in the farest progress already. Still missing the details though.
-food coloring -cake base, covered with chocolate -2nd cake base for buildings -marmelade to 'glue' buildings (they taste and look best imho ) -frosting for the gras -icing for the pylon and minerals (both self made) -marcipan for all the units -tin foil for the power generator -fishing line to attach air units to grill
Have you guessed it? Let me give you another hint, these are the players:
I'm going to give a little description of how I made it so you can appreciate the actual baking i did too on top of the marzipan details.
I baked my own Choux Pastry and filled them with fresh whipped cream to make something similar to huge Profiteroles/Cream Buns. The legs were made using chocolate fingers coated in marzipan to give it extra detail and texture. The buns were wrapped individually with marzipan before I covered them all with green icing sugar. Then once it had set, I did the black detail with a piping bag. Finally, I sculpted the marzipan horns and teeth. The work was done by myself and my girlfriend! Hope you guys enjoy it!
