I am sculpting a guitar cake - 2 layer chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.
Question: do I sculpt the cake then fill or fill then sculpt?

Thanks!

Cathy

I've never tried sculpting a cake, but if it was me I'd sculpt then fill; make it easier to sculpt it! just my opinion....icon_smile.gif

I fill first with mine... then chill a bit and carve!

easier to fill then sculpt especially if there will be narrow -- as in easily broken -- parts to the cake

added benefit...all the carved away parts are the perfect start for making cake balls (or whatever they're going to call them now)
