Camera Cake







I got a commission for a Nikon Camera Cake for a 60th birthday. The exact model was unknown so I modelled it on an old Nikon we had at home. The cake was a white and dark chocolate mud cake with raspberry liqueur syrup wash and chocolate buttercream icing. The only problem I had was the writing on the buttons and camera as the sugarpaste was black and my piping skills are not that great. In the end I went for a more stylised camera without the finer details, I decided as long as it was recognisable as a Nikon camera I was happy.



I made the birdie out of chocolate truffle which was made with the left over chocolate icing and cake all smushed together... delicious!
