This morning, underneath the iconic back-drop of London’s Tower Bridge, Michelle Wibowo is unveiling a giant wedding cake made commissioned by Freeview and setting a new Guiness World Record for the largest dog-friendly cake. Michelle worked for 111 hours solid over a period of three weeks to construct every detail of the cake which measured nearly six foot long, over four foot high and over three feet wide (70” x 52” x 40”). The intricate details of the corgi’s fur took the longest to do with Michelle spending 16 consecutive hours crafting the intricate details.

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!

This video was shot while I was doing sweet art exhibition for The Imperial Hotel Tokyo. The actual shot of the making part took 3 hours, and I had to demonstrate my sugar art technique to sculpt a face. I never use mold for my face sculpting, and in the actual shot, I had to sculpt 2 different facial expressions (half sad, half happy) all in one head- no repeat! and I had to correct it again in the end. That's why you'll see the left and right eyes didn't actually match. :) The presenter was really friendly and entertaining. We really had fun with the TV crew as well.

Hi, my interview with Eri Kano San from TV Tokyo during the Sweet Art Exhibition in Imperial Arcade Tokyo which include the making of sugar figurines will be on air on the 24th December 2010.
