Hiking And Biking!

Hiking And Biking! on Cake Central

I sculpted a 6" and 9" cake to make this hiking cake. My husband actually worked out the structure of the spiral on paper. I added a wedge of cake and then sculpted some into the cake as well. The bike is leaning on the right side of the cake. All of the decorations are gum paste. If you would like instructions on how to carve the spiral, please look here: http://cakecentral.com/tutorial/how-to-carve-a-spiral-cake

Thanks so much you guys! This was fun to figure out the best way to sculpt and add cake where it needed to be!

If anybody wants to see how I constructed the cake, I have some pictures I took along the way for future reference in case I wanted to make it again.

Maybe you could post the pics in the forum with directions. Since everyone wants pictures it might save you some time and hassle. This is a great cake! Love it! my e-mail is [email protected] I would love the pics too. :)

Hey, I've posted the photos in the forum, but for some reason 1 and 2 are in the wrong order, so keep that in mind when reading the explanations. You can still let me know if you have any questions or anything. Thanks for all of your wonderful comments! I really appreciate it!!!

Oh, and I'll still email it to you if that's easier than fishing through the forums. I don't mind. It's not hard for me to do it!

Very cute!! Can you send me the pictures please??? I've seen other cakes with this design and can't figure out how to do it. (I also can't figure out how to get to the forum where they are posted :oops: ) I love it! My email is [email protected] Thanks!!!
