That's it. Summer is officially over. It's back to school, the weather is starting to get cooler, and I guess there's isn't much else to do but curl up and go into hibernation. No more sun, no more heat, and worst of all, no more vacation!
Nothing says summer like
vacation time and that means travel! Travel themed cakes are always
popular in the summer months. One of my favourite cakes from a few weeks
ago was one for a guy who loves to travel, and never stops learning.
His girlfriend designed the cake, and she had big ideas! She wanted
an open book with a globe on top. And on top of that globe, an
airplane, and a figurine of her boyfriend. Sounds crazy right!? But I
was obviously up for the challenge. I had so much fun making this
one, so many fun shapes to carve :)
The figurine is made of
gumpaste, the airplane out of rice crispy treats, and the book and
globe were chocolate orange cake – one of my new favourites!
