I made this cake for my boss' friend's birthday. Initially i wanted to have the camera-cake standing up but i was worried if the 'lens' of the cake could hold up even with dowels..esp. when the chocolate cake i baked was quite soft. After much thought, i decided to lie the cake flat...that way i don't have to worry about the lens not holding up. :) I modeled this cake after my own camera. :)
Cake is made of Devil's Food Cake, Chocolate Buttercream & Chocolate Ganache. I'm quite happy with this cake. Although it is not 100% perfect, at least it is what i had in mind. My "paint-writing" needs major improvement...LOL!
