Halo themed cake
« on: July 17, 2007, 09:43:19 am »
I did a Halo themed cake for a friend this weekend.  I've been wanting to do some type of video game cake for a while now.  Next I would love to try a SMB cake  :P.  This cake design is loosely based on mp levels Coagulation and Valhalla.  I thought it turned out pretty well.
I'll have the website updated in a few days for more pics and the build process.

I posted the videos on Break and Youtube:

Niiiice.  What part of that is edible other than the base?  I used to do cakes at a bakery while in HS.... that's good work.

Thanks.  Just the base is edible.  Seemed like plenty.  It is 3 14" rounds which is equivalent to 6 box cakes.

Internal supports for the big centerpiece, then?  That thing looks heavy and it's not sinking.

Damn that is awesome. I almost didn't watch the video, but glad I did.
How long did it take you to do all that?

Took about two weeks.
There are no internal supports for the cake part.  I'd say I got REALLY lucky here because we got the cakes all stacked on there and then thought about support, doh.  Just lucky it didn't sink I guess.  The center tower does set into 2 wooden dowels so the cake does not support it.
