2011 lamborghini aventador {sculpted cake}

When we are asked to create a 3-D replica of a car our of cake we do a lot of research and calculations. We want to make sure that the cake comes out actually looking like the real thing. It is a scale model made out cake!

This time we were asked to create the 2011 Lamborghini Aventador out of chocolate cake.

the reference: 2011 Lambo Aventador

Now the next part will show and prove this is all cake! We sometimes take in progress pics of our work and this time we are going to share the process with you.

so what you didn't see is that before we started shaping the cake is that we baked it, layered it with vanilla buttercream and chilled it.

then the magic happens!

shaping the side profile

checking out the proportions

carving more off the cake

checking the lines of the hood

haha! that's me checking the backend and giving it a final inspection

time for buttercream coat

after the cake chilled again and the buttercream was firm it was time to cover it in fondant.
the fondant was tinted peach (I over estimated the amount of fondant needed)

time to etch in the lines of the car

giving it another inspection for it gets its paint job - I tend to make funny faces when I'm concentrating

time for paint - it's color is airbrushed on for an even coat

and now the black details are hand painted on very carefully!

So now you have a little look at how we created the cake. This shows just how much time we invest in our cakes and attention to detail we give.
