Amazing Cake

I never cease to be amazed at the imagination and skill of cake decorating artists. Their creations are so intricate and detailed, they must spend hours on each creation only to see them eaten. It must break their hearts. Here are a couple I've seen lately, quite different.

That is sculpture to me. Not cake. It looks more to be seen than good to eat. Make it in clay if you are going to do that.

@Sooner It's true, they've used that rolled fondant to mold pieces of the display as well as to cover the cakes. It doesn't taste very good. However, we traditionally want CAKE not ceramics for certain occasions.

The sewing machine cake photo was taken in someone's kitchen. It was not in a professional bakery. Wow!

@Kachina624 Thank you! Exactly my point! We want to eat it and see the lusciousness and the texture and the flavors.

Think a big ole Black Forest cake with dark chocolate ganache and dark cherries soaked in Kirschwassa spilling out between the layers with the Kirsch flavored whipped cream, crowned with more ganache and cream and cherries and Kirsch sprinkled on.

Got you going? LOL!!! That does it for me.

There used to be a show probably on the food network where bakers created a dessert from specified themes etc designed by one of the world's best bakers.

It started with a z I think. It was so fascinating even for someone who is not into baking or cooking.

I'll try to remember the name

Think this is it!-

Duff Goldman, baker had a show on Food Network and those cakes were also amazing. He still has his bakery in Baltimore, Charm City Cakes on Remington Ave. Works of art. My sister and I love trolling around in the city when I go home and we went up there a few years ago. To watch them create is the most amazing thing...they make it look so easy but I know it's a talent. We grabbed a beautiful cupcake to eat and I didn't want to destroy it, but I did in 3 bites...delicious.

I've heard that rolled fondant is edible, but it appears to be very stiff.

I attended a baby shower where a fondant-topped cake was featured. The lady in charge of the shower told the gathering to take a look at the cake before the frosting was removed. Pieces of the fondant were placed in a box beside the unadorned cake. We were served pieces of the underlying lemon cake with a dollop of lemon whipped cream.

Wow! I couldn't cut into that. I'd want to preserve them for decorating somewhere in the house.

Anything that could be injected to preserve them. I don't know, just thinking.
