Wagamama ケーキ

Sezreg threw a birthday bash last month and so I asked what sort of cake I could make her. She requested either Harry Potter or Wagamama. I would LOVE to do a Potter cake at some point, but decided that a Waga cake could be really fun, so constructed a bowl of ramen out of Victoria Sponge and icing...

I made the bowl using my ever so handy giant cupcake tin (the same I used for Windsor's head!) but without the top, so I just got the bowl shape with the dip in it - perfect for a Waga bowl! I coloured some sugarpaste with my chestnut brown dye and covered the bowl, then used white sugarpaste to line the inside of the bowl. I then whipped up some buttercream, made it slightly lighter in colour, and used it to add detail to the bowl...

Then using sugar paste I made noodles, chicken, pak choi, greens, tofu, kamaboko and a slice of lime and layered them inside the top of the bowl. I made a thin glace icing which I drizzled over the top for the miso soup...

Then I garnished with chopsticks and some wicked Happy Birthday candles I got in Waitrose, oishii!
