Game of Thrones Cake


Summer is coming boys and girls. It's that time of year where you have to patiently wait until the new season of Game of Thrones starts. The person who ordered the cake was a big fanatic of the series, so I had to be extra cautious on the details whilst decorating this cake. As far as I remember this was the first time I did a movie/TV show related cake, so I had every reason to be excited. The basics of the cake was really easy to make and didn't take any extra time decorating it. All I had to do was make a white fondant and cover the cake smoothly, by doing that 50% of the work was done. The next step of decorating the cake was a bit tricky to make as the chair "throne" it self had a lot of details on it. Basically, the throne was full of swords, so it had to look really good otherwise, the details would've been overshadowed and the end process would be awful. Once I've managed to put everything in order, it was time for the coloring of the throne, which I have done it with a brush to give that shiny look. In the end all I had to do was pour some red color on the cake in order to look like blood dripping through the throne. This was one odd cake to decorate. After all, It's not everyday when you pour blood on top of the cake!
