A bit about the cake and how it’s made 🙂
Its a 6 layer chocolate cake, with alternating layers of milk chocolate ganache and chocolate swiss meringue buttercream, whipped salted caramel, and chopped pecans.
The critters paintings are done on black fondant. Using small paintbrushes I added the white on using white food colouring (chefmaster brand, but is basically just titanium dioxide and glycerin). For the outlines of the bodies I mixed the white colouring with vodka to give it some transparency. The bones are straight colouring painted on.
I looooove this cake. There was a couple things that went wrong tho haha. I baked my fondant on silicone sheets (don’t do this lol) so it didn’t cure fully and when I tried to remove it it teared and cracked, so I had to try and mend it.
That and black food colouring is so tricky to work with. My frosting was bleeding so bad that it was hard for anything piped to hold its shape. It’s probably just a matter of buying a different brand.

That cake is so incredibly well done, omg! How did you get the skeletons to look so believable? Are they anatomically correct? And if so, where did you copy them from? And apart from that, everything else about the look of it amazing too, the red roses on the black icing, the way the skeleton “portraits” are framed. Seriously, you should be the pastry chef at the Haunted Mansion at Disney World! Your creations would fit right in with that vibe. It’s a work of art, congratulations!
