3D Cake of a Half-Dissected Ralph Wiggum From THE SIMPSONS
This Simpsons-inspired 3D cake of a half-dissected Ralph Wiggum is absolutely incredible. When I first saw it I was like, "Wait… what? That's a cake!?" because as you can see, it doesn't look like it could be. The design and craftsmanship of this thing is amazing.
It was created by British Columbia-based designer Kylie Mangles of Freshly Squeez’d. It was built for an online competition for Threadcakes, which is where people make cakes based on Threadless T-shirt designs. The original T-shirt design of Wiggum came from artist Erick Flores. Here's what Mangles has to say about her cake:
I really wanted to pick a design that would be challenging and make me try some new things. Well Ralph sure delivered on that. I have never made a cake with so many different colours of fondant or floating ribs before.
I started a few weeks before I was going to bake making all the modeling paste bones. I wanted to make them far enough ahead of time so they could dry properly and be able to hold up under the weight of his muscles and other body parts. I used as few tooth picks as possible but did use a few to hold the ribs together and onto the body. (read more)
This is one of the most impressive and creative cake designs I think I've seen.
