Alien Cake for XCOM2 Game is Out of this world!

By -


XCOM2 Cake - Sponge Cake


The year was 2016. Earth had fallen to the alien invaders, humanity clung to survival in hidden bases, and XCOM 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed XCOM: Enemy Unknown, was about to ignite the fight for freedom. To celebrate this momentous occasion, 2K Games didn't simply throw a press conference or roll out a red carpet. They did something far more... memorable.

Imagine, if you will, a towering alien head, sculpted from sugar paste with chilling accuracy. Its reptilian features, menacing and detailed, gleamed under the lights. But the true pièce de résistance wasn't the cake itself, but its gruesome adornment: 1,500 individual skulls, meticulously crafted from fondant and icing sugar. Each skull, unique and chilling, represented the fallen soldiers, the civilians lost, the cost of humanity's resistance.

This wasn't just a cake; it was a statement. It was a chillingly delicious embodiment of XCOM 2's central conflict: humanity's desperate struggle against a seemingly insurmountable alien force. Every bite was a reminder of the stakes, the sacrifices, and the fight for survival.

So, the next time you think of a video game launch, remember the XCOM 2 cake. It wasn't just about celebrating a game; it was about pushing boundaries, creating something truly unique, and reminding us that even in the face of alien invasion, a little creativity can go a long way.

Prince William & Kate Middleton Royal Wedding Cake

I use this ideal home show cake competition as a great opportunitiy to do something different, other than the usual decorated round tiered cake people normally expect for a classic tiered wedding cake. It was really a challenge for me to do this cake. It's a hard work, but I really enjoyed making it. Prince William and Kate Middleton cake is made of traditional english fruit cake, carved into 3D busts with an armature inside, covered with apricot jam. The icing was sculpted with details and then airbrushed with colours to make it look more realistic. It took about 80 hours to make and I uses more than 10kgs marzipan and 10kg Icing sugar. You can see this cake at the " Ideal Food-Ideal Cake Decorato r" section at the Ideal Home Show March 11th -  27th   2011 Earls Court London. I hope I see you there!
