largento Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 My nephew turned five today and is having a birthday party this weekend. After seeing some Cake Boss episodes a few weeks ago, I'm wondering if I could do a custom cake for him. His favorite super-hero these days is J'onn J'onz, the Martian Manhunter. For some reason, he doesn't like it if you call him Martian Manhunter, only J'onn. :-) Anyway, I cranked up A:M tonight and did this mockup of what the cake might look like: Quote
largento Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Haha... maybe I should stick to 3D... :-) Ran into some budgetary restraints along the way and my sister was worried that a little cake wouldn't be enough for the 12 kids coming to the party, so had to start with a pre-made & iced cake. I ended up having to use some kind of green "cake mist" spray to change the icing to a green color. Sculpting out of rice krispie treats was a new one on me and the Fondant stuff really wasn't as easy to sculpt onto it as it looks on TV... BUT My nephew Spencer thinks it is awesome and that's what counts in the end. Picture's a little blurry, but I'm too lazy to pull it out of the fridge to take another one. :-) Quote
Wildsided Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Nice one Mark. Those are the kinds of things kids remember forever. "Hey remember that year uncle Mark made the J'onn J'onz cake for me" Good times Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 27, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted January 27, 2013 Very cool, Mark! You need a 3D cake printer, or maybe you could put a cake into a computer controlled milling machine. Quote
