Edward Cullen Cake

TEAM EDWARD!! I love the twilight saga, ive read all the books so many time the spines are coming off the books and pages are falling out, ive watched the dvds so many times i have had to buy new ones lol. So you can all imagine how excited i was when my sister asked for an Edward Cullen inspired cake, i planned this cake for weeks, i didnt know what sort of cake to make whether to do the Cullen crest or make a vampire inspired cake and then i watched a few youtube channels and decided i was gunna try my hand at a portrait. i made a normal 10" square cake and covered with fondant then i traced a picture of Edward from the internet and cut his basic shape from another piece of white fondant, then i lay the tracing paper over it and used the back of one of my paint brushes and traced over his features onto the fondant. When i took the paper away i found that the features were now embedded onto the fondant, so i then painted the features on. once done i lightly painted the shading onto his hair. Then i carefully placed the fondant  onto the cake, i say carefully because as you lift the fondant it will want to stretch so being careful is an understatement lol. after all this i painted on some vines and flowers and butter creamed a border on and ta daa! Edward Cullen. I was well happy with this one, at first i didnt know people would know who it was meant to be but everyone recognised him so i was proud. This was a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream. the border is vanilla butter cream. I hope you all like it :)
