Hummingbird

Recently while on holiday in the mountains, I was inspired by the beauty of the hummingbirds and the wild flower meadows and decided to try and capture it in a cake. This was my first time to try to sculp something -- the bird out of gum paste. I did the wings in several layers. I painted it with gel colours mixed with vodka (another first!). It was also the first time to use my new air brush on buttercream. Flowers are cut from fondant. Chocolate fudge layer and smaller white layer plus cupcakes for a surprise 85th birthday.
