Saddle Cake

Saddle Cake on Cake Central

Fruitcake with sugarpaste. Thanks to Peachez for the inspiration. The brown sugarpaste tastes rather chocolatey, and the family loved the combination with fruitcake in a previous cake I made for them (Kilimanjaro cake). Used scrunched up tinfoil for the leather texture and brown food colouring mixed with vodka for the look.

Thank you! I used brown sugarpaste for all of the saddle, working from a sketch I made of a real saddle. First the raised bit in the middle and then the rest, using modelling tools to shape and indent it.
