One of my excuses for taking such a long break from blogging in April is the crazy amount of birthday's I had. How many Aries are there out there, really. This is one cake I had so much fun with. Matthew, birthday boy, is on a serious health kick lately. The kind where you don't eat cake except for yours and maybe baby Jesus' birthday. This is the one chance I had to make him really good cake since it's the only cake he'll have all year (hm, so he says). Naturally you and I both know cake should be eaten anytime it's in front of your face. Considering all this, I thought it would be humourous to make him a broccoli cake.

I used the normal point tip #2 or #3 in fast circular motions to make the broccoli head shown in more detail below, #2B tip would probably work too.

Sculpting a cake is both fun but also terrifying to see it in the beginning steps - will it look right? Will it be proportioned?

The broccoli cake was a strange one, it started off looking like a mushroom from Super Mario Brothers.

Let them eat broccoli! (cake)
