Carved cakes

sculpted cakes, carved cakes, 3D cakes, fondant figures

Any crafters out there? Since I spend most of my time working online, I go a little crazy if I don't take time out each week to physically make something. It can be so satisfying working with your hands, and flexing those creative muscles, you know? So what better theme for this week's Sweets?

Freshly picked from my kitchen to yours, this "Cabbage" is made of butter cake layers filled with toffee-speckled buttercream. The trompe l'oeil exterior is molded using real cabbage leaves.I use a special oil-based food color to tint the candy. This can be found at specialty baking shops and online. Or, you could leave the candy untinted for a white cabbage. Semisweet chocolate or chocolate almond bark can also be used for a dark brown chocolate cabbage, which is cute, too!

Carved 3D cakes, cakes expertly sculpted into all kinds of shapes, are pieces of edible art that get people talking. Be inspired by Lindy's creations.
