So a year had passed and the birthday girl who one that first auction cake (see Bow Wow Birthday) was celebrating her birthday again, this time with a frosty theme including polar bears and penguins. She requested an ice castle cake from me, however she also requested it be chocolate, providing me with a challenge-how to make a dark brown chocolate cake look frostbitten.
I couldn't frost the cake in white icing because then I would loose all the detail of the castle. I went through many ideas and drafts before shopping for supplies. I was very lucky to find glitter gel icing at my local cake supply store, bringing me that much closer to fulfilling her request. Turns out the hardest part was finding polar bears, this was April after all.
I was really happy with the way it turned out, for a chocolate cake, it looked pretty chilly! Brr!
Next Up-Back to First Communion!
