Anyhoos, I'm pretty stoked I got to try this out recently - melding typography with cake art. I don't really think it's been done before (correct me if I'm wrong), and I'm really happy with the results:
The cake was stamped with individual tiny letters - took me about an hour, even with help!
Flavour: Chocolate mud cake with cookies n' cream buttercream
Exterior: Dark chocolate ganache and white fondant
To put the cake into context, it was an early celebration for my sister's birthday. She was here for a visit, and I wanted to make a special cake for her. Since she's a journalist, and words are her world, I thought a nice personal letter would be extra special! (Of course, she did say afterwards that she'd expected a "newspaper" cake - psssshh, what, have I got no imagination?!)
This really takes custom-made cakes to a whole new level, no? It's great (I feel anyways) because it's really personalised, and you can put pretty much anything on it - thank you, happy birthday, even a marriage proposal! All to make a significant moment even more unique. Plus I love the fact that each cake has someone's personal journey etched into it. :))
PS. It was delicious to eat my words.
what did you use to stamp the letters? the ganache and little stamps?? It looks amazing!

DeleteThanks for your lovely comments! I used a set of (sterilised) tiny alphabet stamps, and food colouring to create edible ink on a stamp pad. Then I stamped each individual letter onto the cake :)
Thanks for popping by!
