Africa Cake
I made this cake for my aunt. It was hand carved out of chocolate cake with Bavarian Cream filling. Buttercream that was hand painted (with paint brush, ugh!) and the decorations are royal icing.

Beautiful!! Nice work!
Thanks so much for all the compliments 8O I was not expecting that!!! To paint it, I just mixed my gel colors with orange extract, gave it more flavor too! And for carving, yes, I drew out a shape of africa on paper, cut it out and then set it on top of the cake, used a toothpick to trace it and then started hacking away! LOL
Thank you everyone!! :D Yes, it is handcarved. I used two 8" rounds for the top left area and then used a 12X18 (cut in half and stacked) for the rest of the area. I was going for the least amount of scraps possible. :lol:
beautiful job :o :)
Kudos for hand painting! I bet that took a very steady hand and lots of patience.
How do you paint buttercream and what do you use?
How beautiful. Was this hand carved?
This is soooo beautiful! I have been to South Africa and Zambia. ABSOLUTELY in my favs!
