My cousin made the cake. The party was the following week, I recommended that they make the cake so it would be fresh. I have sent her a set of Magi-Cake Baking Strips so her cakes will be more even in the future. Okay disclaimers finished. I have to say apart from subject matter I am really proud of this image. AGAIN sorry, it is made with a variety of colored chocolates, piped onto plastic film over a poster of the image. This is the most detailed cake image I have made. I can now say that you re...

looks great!

I Think it looks Great!! The coloring of her skin and hair are great!! Did you just mix colors??

Well it turned out fabulous!!

What a wonderful image! I am thorughly impressed!

Wow, thanks guys!!! I did just mix colors. BTW, they have a craft store called AC Moore there and they use a chocolate brand and supplies called Make-n-Mold http://www.makenmold.com/melt.html great stuff! I was really excited about the shading on the sides of her face, I just used a plastic bristled brush and just created the thin layers of brushed chocolate. I worked! I really can now say there isn't a picture you cannot replacate with this method. So fun! Oh and skintone is make-n-mold peanut b...

wow , so there is a picture under the picture..Let me get this right, you iced over plastic wrap? I need details..!!! :D I am a very curious person..Thanks.. And the cake is amazing!!!!

Ok. I taped a poster of the image to a cookie sheet. I covered that poster w/ plastic film, needs to have a decent thickness. Using piping triangles filled w/dark chocolate I traced the outline of the image - all the black lines, then fill in with the colors. Once the chocolate cools takes just a few minutes in fridge, you can flip it over (TAKE CARE It breaks easily, I cover the back w/another layer of chocolate). The underside will be smooth and shiny now place on cake.

Great job!!

I am trying to figure out how to do a BRATZ cake for my neice. New to decorating. You used chocolate - not frosting - to make the picture?? Never heard of that. Are these the chocolate disc like things for candy molding?? I would love to know how you did this.

They are exactly those chocolate discs you see at the craft store, both Wilton & Make-n-Mold make them. Place the image to be copied on a cookie sheet tape it down. Place over it heavy weight celophane(not clingwrap, but like clear plastic sheeting) & then with melted chocolate in paper coronets you trace and fill in. I do the outline first. Then place in the fridge for 10-15 min. And you will have a hard chocolate image. Gently flip over onto the cake. Bottom of image is smooth & shiny for top.

I LOVE this idea! I am going to attempt this for my daughters birthday. You did a beautifil job!

absolutley fantastic! How did you get the shading so perfect?
