I received a cake order for a Nikon SLR camera cake for a camera lover. I have to admit, this cake has been a great challenge! I learned a great deal from sculpting this cake, and I even taught myself to cast sugar to make a lens!Unfortunately for me, we were hit with a major heatwave and no AC could prevent the lens from melting a bit. I’ll post the pictures of the lens when I first cast it, and then you can compare it to the final picture on the camera. I must say I was sorely disappointed! I am, however, very pleased at how nicely it came out on my first try. I never casted sugar before, I just put together the ingredients I had at home (sugar, glycerine, and water), and voila! I casted a lens.
The flavor of the cake was marble (vanilla and chocolate swirled together) with chocolate frosting. The consistency of the cake had to be a little denser than regular cakes in order to hold the shape. I initially made a fluffy cake and it fell apart as soon as I tried to create the base. I then re-made a cake with a denser consistency and had no problems!
