Take 2: Photography Cake

The little camera looks just like a digital SLR! And the writing as though part of old school film. 

Surprisingly, the camera detail is so easy to put together. Fondant works like clay and if it doesn't work the first time, roll in out and do it again. All you need is a steady hand, sharp knife and a little imagination (or youtube to help you!). And use a little CMC / tylose if you get stuck. 

Rolling out enough fondant to cover the cake however requires lots and lots of arm strength, patience and a good rolling pin! I always get nervous at this stage and imagine all the things that could go horribly wrong or the tears or the holes. Luckily, none of that happened today!

Chocolate Jaffa Cake with Cointreau, Oranges and Zest. Having the decadence of chocolate with undertones of orange and a bit of a kick. Not for children. ;)
