My office at work recently started a cake baking competition, where by each week, one of us bakes a cake for the office every Friday...
Today is my day, and over the past few days I have been working on a Nyx Cake.
Bearing in mind, that I have no cake baking experiance before trying this, or any real cooking experiance so some of these photo's may shock unprepared readers...
Last Tuesdays Test Run:
Images 1 & 2: Showing the base of the beta cake, without any topings. Due to an accident, it came out grey and mold coloured... (Don't Ask) http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_003.jpg http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_004.jpg
Images 3 & 4: Showing the rasberry sauce... However, not reading the results of Google Searches correctly, I made the mistake of not relising that sause in cakes goes in the middle and not the top for a reason... (In my defence, the cooking guides did not specify "in the middle") http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_005.jpg http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_006.jpg
Images 5 & 6: Adding the icing and detail, using standard icing. Things fell apart about now... http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_007.jpg http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_008.jpg
Yesturdays Live Attempt:
Image 1 & 2: Using better cutting tools, and using paper templates (blueprints) to cut the cake, as well as rasberry sause in between the sponge and not on top created a much better base. http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_010.jpg http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_011.jpg
Image 3 & 4: Final Product. Using the butter icing worked much better. Notice the detail work, with individually places 100's and 1000's with a pair of tweasers, and silver ball balls for lights on the Nyx. http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_012.jpg http://stone.alpha-force.net/files/cake/IMAGE_013.jpg
What do people think?
If anyone wants scanned copys of the blueprints, templates and planning paperwork to try this themselves, let me know.

What did you use to cut out all the fiddly pieces for the second cake? Fantastic job by the looks of things.
I wonder whether it would be possible to get the actual Nyx textures onto a photo cake topping somehow? ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking |

Always knew the Nyx was a sweet ship, but not quite what I had in mind...
Nice work.

2007.08.03 11:55:26 (lunch) Your 20mm Silverware Fork I is well aimed at Edible Epeen [CAKE](Nyx), inflicting 133.7 hunger reduction.
Could not wait until after lunch it seems, the feast has started.

Give me time, I have not skilled up enough to know about making pies yet. I would need to learn to cook first for that...
