Sculpted cake

So Sculpted cake tends to be something everyone sees on TV but is not as popular out side of that.
But we learned how to do them. we were given a customer (14 year old Bobby) and a theme (Harry Potter Birthday).
Starting with a sketch we planned out our cake.

Once we had that we made our chocolate pound cake and Peanut butter butter cream. WE started by stacking our books and sculpting them as we worked. 

We then started on the hat. We then finished the hat with rice crispy treats for the bent point and made chocolate frogs as well as a solid chocolate ball covered in gold foil topped off with sugar wings! We added jelly beans and a few gum paste decorations for a finishing touch!
