Blue Dragon Cake
This cake was done for a boy's 10th birthday. The mother had a ceramic figure that she wanted copied. Only my second attempt at "sculpting" a cake but I was happy with the result. White cake w/MMF everything. Hope you like!
WOW....great cake. Very talented
excerllent cake!
Fantastic work! You are very talented! What size cakes you used to scupture this, mind to share the picture with crumb coat. Thanks.
OMG!!! What is not to like, that is just AWESOME!!!!
Oh, sorry...meant to thank "swipernoswiping" for the inspiration for this cake! Thanks so much!
That is amazing! I wish I could do something like that.
THAT IS AMAZING! I'm going to save to favorites and attempt something like this one day! did you do each scale individually??? my goodness did you take photos during construction??
well if that's only a "second" attempt.....holy hanna can't wait to see what you'll do on future attempts!!! That is fabulous!!!!
Thanks guys! Yes, I did place every scale individually. Ugh. I used the three individual rose petals in the Wilton Sugarpaste kit. I did take one pic once the pieces were together with the crumb coat on...he's pretty sad looking at that point :lol:
Wow! F A N T A S T I C !!!!
Absolutely amazing, fantastic, fabulous...all of the above. Love that blue!
Incredible work!!! well done!
AMAZING!!!!! Best I've ever seen!! I love the colors too!
absolutely great work! keep it up.
Hi everyone...as requested, I just uploaded the pic of the dragon at the crumbcoat stage. Thank you all for such wonderful comments. Plse feel free to pm if you have any questions. Oh yes...sizes...started with a 12 inch round (3in high) and had an extra 10 in on hand, but only needed enough from that one to do the head.
This is great. I love it. May my cake decorating skills get to your level one day.
WOW! Spectacular!!! That is awesome!!!
WOW!!! What an awesome cake!!!!! I absolutly love it!!!! Great Job!
Wow your cake is amazing one question how did you get that color I took my son to watch aragon now he wants a dragon for his birthday and your cake looks quite like the one from the movie. Do you start with white mmf then use luster dust or do you use blue and then luster dust you help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there swe3ts...well, I started with white MMF and added a LOT of americolor Navy Blue, and when that wasn't dark enough, I added some black to darken it up...but I didn't mix it completely in so it looked a little "marbly". Once the dragon was covered with the scales I luster dusted with blue and silver. Hope this helps! PM if you would like more info :)
This is truly amazing! The sculpting and scales are outstanding! The eyes are fabulous! Everything about this cake just blows me away! Great job!
Hi chyana66 thanks for the info on the color I am gonig to try my hand at this this weekend just one more question how did you make the wings? I'm hoping my cake comes out halfway decent because yours is spectacular I just hope he doesn't expect it to look exacly like yours.
This is just gorgeous!! I LOVE the detail-awsome job!!
OMG! That is so great!! Are those individual pieces of MMF that you used for the scales?

I love this cake! I have been wanting to try a realistic dragon for some time now. Can you please email me with instructions and as many pics as you can? I would greatly appriciate it. My sis has a collection of the same dragon sculptures. She would love a cake to match. Thanks.
Do you remember what size cake board you needed for the dragon? And this may be obvious, but is the grass you made to cover the board Icing or Fondant?
Also, would you be willing to please repost the pic of the crumb-coated dragon?
Thx!
