This weekend, I attended a class at the NY Cake Convention. It was honestly the most fun I’ve had in a very long time. I took a class with the crew from Christopher Garren’s cakes in Costa Mesa California. Their work is amazing, and I am honored to have learned from them.
They guided us through sculpting Horton from “Horton Hears a Who” using Rice Krispie Treats covered in modeling chocolate. This was my first time working with modeling chocolate and it will not be my last. It is a great sculpting medium (just like clay) and can be turned into just about anything. Here are the pictures I took as I worked through the instruction.
Gotta love that expression!

We can’t begin to tell you how much we enjoyed seeing the cake you made at the class in NY. It’s AMAZING! We never heard of cake sculpting. We envy your talent. It’s a waste that you don’t do it professionally.
Happy New Year to you and Milos.

PS. Who doesn’t love Horton?
