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.

How to make a 3D Yoda Cake...Finished!!!
So, here he is. Yoda in a tux with his ragged Jedi cape. The body is stacked pound cake. The walking stick is made from pastillage. The hands and feet are rice krispy treats. And fondant, fondant...and more fondant.
Everything on Yoda is homemade. The fondant is marshmallow fondant. Even when I have a cake like this where I am charging a decent amount, I can't get myself to spend money on premade fondant. Marshmallows, water, powdered sugar and a microwave and badda boom badda bing...you have fondant. One thing that people want to know is how I made the black fondant. I just make chocolate fondant by substituting some cocoa powder for powdered sugar and then add black food coloring paste. That way you don't need a ton of food coloring and the fondant ends up tasting like a tootsie roll.
Got any questions or comments? Let me know.
