This Birthday cake was done for a HARDCORE Gears of War fan. The cake itself is 4 layers of a dark devils food cake layered with a rich milk chocolate filling and brandy preserved cherries. The whole cake is covered in a marshmallow fondant and then airbrushed red with a metallic fleck and detailed with black accents. I also made sure to add a hammered metal finish before painting it. The blood spatter is made from melted and poured sugar.
The lancer weapon on top is not edible and was made by the overly talented whyteshadow
Oh wow. o.o Wowww. I've got no words, that is just incredible. The hammered metal look is amazing and the COG symbol is perfect. I'm also loving the blood splatter, that's awesome!
