Cake Sculpting is a little recognized, actual form of Art. Rarely in the workplace is someone asked to create a piece of art from start to finish within a few hours. And then do it again and again. That is the daily work routine of Cake Decorators.

Sculpting the Head
The obviously most important feature of Yoda is his head and face. I am using Pastillage for his head as well as his eyes. I used non-toxic markers to make his brown eyes and black pupils. Pastillage sets up very quickly, so you have to move fast. But, once it is dried you don't have to worry about anything sagging or cracking.
First I made a mold out of krispy treats. I attached the mold to a piece of pvc pipe. This will allow me to shape the head and then the body.
