This was my husband's birthday cake.
-------------------------------------------------------
This sugar cigar case was made tonight, and it is going to be used as a decoration theme for my husband's birthday cake. I have to admit that photos do not show all the details on the cigars, but I think they are good enough to show the end result.
I used icing fondant and gum paste
which I made from scratch (you can find this recipe and instructions in a previous post). I also used fondant colour paste, and edible pens.
Although my husband does not smoke any more, this cake was a pleasant surprise for him!
His birthday is on the 21/03/11.
Good enough- that's an understatement! Really creative idea.
ReplyDeleteWow those look so good! I bet the cake will look amazing.
ReplyDeletealthough I don't like cigars (or anything that it closed to smoke), these are lovely! excellent idea! (^_^)

ReplyDeleteThese look absolutely fascinating!I don't think I would have enough patience to make them unfortunately : (
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done!!
ReplyDeleteI have a cigar afficiando friend and this is perfect for him. As creative as you are, I would say you do not really have a kitchen-just an imagineering room. Congrats on another great creation!
ReplyDeleteThey really look like cigars!! That's a great job, they're fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love these, what a great idea. Thinking I'll have to make a similar one (if I can) for my bf's birthday this year. He'd love it!
ReplyDeleteThis cake shows a great way to creatively capture something that is incredibly unhealthy (cigars) with something that is... well.. less unhealthy (cake). It's a great idea for adults, but it's a good thing this cake isn't marketed to kids. There are already enough ad campaigns directed toward promoting tobacco products to kids in order to draw in life-long customers from a young age, as tobacco has proven to be extremely habit-forming.
