Effie SeibergIt's been a long time since I've gotten to do a sculpted food project! I'll update this thread as I go, making elements over the course of the next week.
Step 1: Make lemony rice krispies treats balls in various small sizes
Step 2: Tint modeling chocolate in several colors. Cover the rice krispies treat balls and roll into as close to a sphere as possible.
Step 3: figure out how to not have your hands be so hot that they nearly melt the damn modeling chocolate. Theoretically. I might not actually be achieving this step.
Step 4: texture and paint, with a combination of edible gel and powder colors.
Step 6: Make giant gumpaste eyeball, and two gumpaste wing/fin/ear thingies
Step 7: Bake carrot cake and make spiced buttercream. Stack cakes, put dowels in so it doesn't fall, carve, and frost.
Step 8: Smooth out buttercream, cover inside of mouth with black fondant and cover whole cake in white modeling chocolate. Texture where lips meet the rest of the head/body to be dealt with tomorrow, it's late.

Meet Om-Nom the planet eater! He's carrot cake, spice buttercream, and mostly covered in modeling chocolate. The planets are lemon rice krispies treats covered in modeling chocolate.
Winchell Chung ⚛🚀Amazing cake!
Reminds me a bit of a hokey old scifi story THANG by Martin Gardner (1948)
