I used a Croquembouche tin instead of the Dolly Varden pan as this is much closer to the shape I wanted to achieve

The hair was the last thing I added plus some fine detail on the black bottice. All up, including the face 8-10 hours.

I made the face first using Daisy Paste and food paint. I have tried various gum paste brands over the years but found Daisy Paste more stable

I have added photos and commentary around some of the cakes I've made. I have had a long break from baking and decorating but have a renewed enthusiasm for the craft. While it is not my "day job", It is so exciting discovering new products and techniques and I am having so much fun learning new skills and applying those to the cakes I am making.

My version

of the Dolly Varden

This is cake that I made a few days prior. It has an airbrushed background with sugarpaste figures. There are three different Olaf scenes around the cake

I added the cloak using Daisy Paste as I find it doesn't stretch like sugarpaste. It is more pliable and can be rolled thinner. The hands were finished and lightsaber painted green

This cake had many time consuming elements so not all of it is cake. I made BB8 out of Polystyrene, Sugarpaste and airbrushing a week before I started the rest of the cake

Disney, Mickey and Star Wars Cake

This cake took at least 35 hours and the figurines are only about 4 inches high

The timber effect is painted sugarpaste

The water is airbrushed sugarpaste
