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!

  Imagine stepping into a fairytale where your favorite Disney princess towers over you, not in grandeur, but in frosting and cake! This isn't a scene from a fever dream, but the reality of a gigantic, 2-meter-tall cake creation inspired by the magic of Disney. This culinary titan, weighing in at an impressive 200 kilograms, is no mere sweet treat. It's a masterpiece of engineering and artistry, built from a base of rich chocolate sponge cake, meticulously layered with luscious chocolate buttercream. But the real magic lies in its exterior, adorned with a whopping 30 kilograms of fondant, bringing the chosen princess to life in vibrant sugar-sculpted glory. Creating this colossal confection is no child's play. Imagine the logistics! Transporting this behemoth requires a dedicated van, carefully navigating the cityscape for two hours until it reaches its designated London venue. There, it takes its rightful place atop a custom-made, 1-meter-tall plinth, ready to reign over a
