I am trying to figure out how to build a submarine emerging from the water. Have decided on a regular rectangular cake as the base, then I want to sculpt the shape of the submarine as it comes out of the "water". Two questions: first, any recommendations on the type of pan I could use to come close to an oblong look of the sub shape? And second, what on earth is "crumb coating" that I see referred to over and over again for sculpting cakes? Thanks in advance for all advice!!
Try using a wonder mold pan, the one people use for doll cakes and level it at a bottom corner. Hope that makes sense.
Crumb coat is a thin layer of icing you put on the cake to seal in the crumbs. Just let it set for a minute (some people even put it in the fridge) and then put on your icing. It prevents the crumbs from getting into your final coat of icing.
