Tom Windsor

What better way to say happy birthday to someone than by making a lifesize cake sculpture of their head?

Happy birthday Tom Windsor! I made the head by using a giant cupcake (with the pointy top sliced off) and filled with raspberry icing (recipe: 4 oz butter, 10 oz icing sugar, glug of milk, handful of fresh raspberries - blend!) I then covered the whole cake in sugarpaste coloured to look like skin (equal parts red and yellow colour) then added ears and nose which I stuck on with edible glue...

Then I mixed up a batch of very, very, VERY orange buttercream for the hair, which I roughly smoothed all over the head with a spatula...

Then I used sugar paste cut-outs for the eyes, mouth and teeth, which I stuck on with edible glue. And voila! Windsor's cake double was done.

I finished it off with a printer (he really wanted a printer involved) and some bags of swag - my bro's idea to symbolise Winz's thievery over the years. Head cakes are clearly the future - easy to make and there are all sorts of fun photo opportunities to be had, see below:

Voodoo cake!
