Ace Of Cakes "globey" How Do I Do This?
Decorating By drurys Updated 26 Mar 2015 , 5:21pm by FrozenDreams
Hey CC Gang,
I just got an order for a globe.
Now my client saw this one on Ace of Cakes, made by Duff and would like one like it... AAGGGHHHH....
How in the world do I do this?
What about the weight of the round globe part? What about the gold thing that goes around it? What is the bottom?
HELP please...
Thanks in advance!

This is what I would do..
build a wooden base.. bore a 1/2-3/4" hole into the base to insert a large wooden dowel that sticks up about 4 inches from the base. Cut a large styrofoam ball in 1/2 or a little less depending on how much cake you need and bore a 1/2-3/4" hole in the bottom of that to accomodate the large wooden dowel. Put a tier of cake onto the styrofoam and insert a couple wooden dowels down through the cake and into the base to secure it and then put a couple dowels into the cake like you would normally do to support the tier above. Place that tier on and carve the shape of the top of the globe. Cover it in fondant and add your decorations. Put a dowel through the cake and base at an angle to support the arm of the globe and make that from either gumpaste or styrofoam covered in fondant and attach that to the wooden dowel and the angled dowel and viola.. a globe.
