Mike, are you planning to preserve the cake somehow?
No, we're gradually eating some each evening with a nice cup of tea. |

Here is a cake I made this weekend. I thought members of this board might appreciate it. Most people would have no idea what it is!

So that's a shot from the blu-ray behind the scenes?

Mine has signatures of both Mollo and Cobb - each man signed and numbered their own design sheet. I thought that was how it was done? |

For the small window at the top, I wasn't sure whether to use white perspex or frosted perspex. So I cut out and sanded inserts from both materials. Here you see them with the matte black vinyl 'HOLD' ... |

Well, in the end I decided to cast it.
It was a hard decision, because a) I had to save up for the materials and b) I've never cast anything so complex before. I've done mostly open moulds and ... |

To make the handle I started by printing out the stripe pattern and wrapping it into a tube. Then I cut end-caps from some PVC pipe. One end had a 'gap' where the arm will attach.
