Yolanda Gampp showed us how to make a realistic brain cake for Halloween. Now she’s making a cake in the likeness of the new Star Wars droid, BB-8! How does she make it so round, so smooth, so accurate?
There’s something really nice about the words “modeling chocolate.” I’ll have to check that out. Gampp reveals some baker’s secrets here that we’ve seen in many art cakes, but could never quite figure out. I doubt I will ever make a BB-8 cake, but I’ve learned a lot about how to make a decorated cake look better. There are plenty of links at the YouTube page for more on the various steps. -via Digg
