Kingdom Hearts Cake




I made this Kingdom Hearts themed cake for my friend Kiari.! I knew that I wanted to stick with a dark blue and gold color scheme, so to start off with, I iced the cake with icing tinted with dark blue food gel. Then, I formed the iconic Kingdom Hearts heart with a crown by rolling and shaping gumpaste; an edible clay-like substance. I brushed the heart with edible silver shimmer dust using a small paintbrush. Then, I brushed the crown with edible gold shimmer dust. After placing the heart on the top of the cake, I piped out Kiari's name and then threw some gold shimmer dust over that. The effect was a splattered graffiti look which gave me an artsy vision for the rest of the cake. I hand piped a Cornelli lace pattern, a continuous random free form curve of lines, over three quarters of the cake. I finished off the cake with a scattering of edible sugar pearls.
