I received a lot of questions, "how long did it took me to finish this cake?" My answer was "too long, but was worth it." It took a little bit longer because of the type of cake I used, plus again my machine with edible ink was not printing at all. I had to rush to one of my local super market's bakery to have the images printed on icing sheet.
This cake was a moist, dense chocolate cake with Swiss meringue Ghirardeli chocolate filling. Then, I decided to iced the cake with chocolate ganache using dark Ghirardeli chocolate. Finally covered with chocolate, dyed in red. The Earth emblem was edible made in gum paste. The only inedible was the Earth frame holder. The support that I made from gum paste snapped. I didn't had the time to recreate a new one. So, my only alternative at that time was to use a frame holder. The tires were edible, made out of rice crispie treats.
This is my son. He's 5 months old in this picture with my loving husband at the background (chopped off). He's my model.
From my friend, Tony, this is his feedback.... His feed back in available in my Facebook page.
Anthony Polomene at Monday at 9:22am: The expression on Anthony's face when he saw this cake was priceless. All day he kept asking me "Can I look at the cake again?" and he would stand there wide-eyed just staring at it. It was a big hit at the party and delicious to boot! Thanks Evelyn! Amazing work!
