Octonaut Cake

Cake Project Brief

This cake was for a huge Octonaut fan. Thankfully for us this little girl had done our work for us and had trawled through the internet to find exactly what she wanted. We were given strict instructions on how the cake was to look and of course we were happy to oblige.

How We Made The Cake

Each model was made individually from sugar and left to dry before being placed on the cake. The ships deck was made by using small segments of sugarpaste and then painted to give the impression of dials.

We handcarved the cake before covering in sugarpaste, this ensured that the "ship" was the correct shape. We then made the tail and propeller of the cake in advance, this allowed it time to dry so that once placed on the cake it stayed the correct shape.

Once we had put all the elements together we placed some "coral" detail around the cake which we had made from sugar and allowed to dry.

Cake Ingredients

The birthday girl decided on a Vanilla sponge cake filled with strawberry jam and plenty of fluffy vanilla buttercream.
