This cake was inspired by Tim Burton's recent interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. It features Absolem, the caterpillar sitting atop a mushroom with his hookah. Underneath that are some shorter mushrooms, "talking" roses, fiddlehead ferns and the mad hatter's hat- all replicated from the movie. 
This was Cathy's entry for the sculpted cakes category at the Atlantic Baking Expo this past weekend and there was alot of stiff competition that had us worried! She ended up not placing in this category, but we were completely excited when they announced that she had won Best in Show instead! In the story of the movie, Alice returns to Wonderland years after her first visit and everything and everyone is older and somewhat tattered by what has happened since Alice left. This accounts for why the faces of the caterpillar and roses look so worn and aged. All of the decorations were modeled out of fondant and gumpaste.
We at Jacy Cakes are huge Tim Burton fans so we
are always happy to get to create something as an homage to his work. Once we saw this movie, there was no doubt that it would be a huge source of inspiration for future cake art projects!
