Doomfish, how did you get the fondant to shape so well and harden?

Is that fondant? I never knew fondant could be sculpted like that, i thought it was softer and less brittle/crumby.

If it is, please consider this a huge compliment.

So here is my entry into the Cake/edible Starcraft object. Originally I was going to make a Siege tank being torn to pieces by a hydra made of marzipan (the clay of the baking world) I needed to use my parents oven to bake the 5 sheets of brownie I was using to construct the base of the cake but an unfortunate event would see a different fierce monster tear the siege tank apart, my parents’ dog.

I lieu of a thoroughly disgusting pile of brownies and icing being eaten by the Hydra I’ve chosen to just enter my painstakingly carved Hydralisk, on a single sheet of brownie that I had planned on using as the turret for my tank.

I’m really impressed with the caliber and quantity of cake people where willing to field, best of luck to the lot of you and I certainly hope we all paid attention to the TL forum rules and had a lot of fun.

Perhaps its immature of me but I have omitted a ton of the basic construction stuff but they all seemed to look like wang if you lot want I can post some of my under construction pictures.

Here is a shot of the torso mid carving

Here is a shot of one of the arms while I’m working on some detail stuff

I could very well have been late entering the contest Oh well I had fun and enjoyed this epic display of baking prowess.

It is fondant. With alot of powdered sugar knead in. That way you can only work on it when it's heated up in the microwave. At room temperature it will harden again.
Also it's quite delicious, with all the sugar. ;D
