Twilight Cake – Breaking Dawn Cake

BreakingDawnChessPiece1 300x198 Twilight Cake – Breaking Dawn Cake

My good friend and photographer Chester D.M. (thanks for the photos of this cake!) wanted to surprise his niece with a Twilight-inspired birthday cake. I’ve seen quite a few Twilight cakes, but I haven’t really seen a sculpted Twilight cake yet.  I used the chess piece on the cover of Breaking Dawn, and The Cullen Crest as inspiration for this cake.

I only had time to decorate this cake on the day of the party! It was stressful, but well worth it; she loved it! She’s a true Twilight fan!

This video demonstrates using a Pencil Design transfer technique on gumpaste to make The Cullen Crest.  This tutorial is dedicated to birthday girl Nica, and all the Twilight fans out there!

    Oh, well done you! I wouldn’t attempt this if you paid me to do it! ;-) I used to be a big Twilight fan but then I read the last book and saw the movies… ugh. I’ll always love the first book though.

    Thank you!!

    I jump at the chance to make sculpted cakes and challenge myself! This was for a special Twilight fan who told me all about the significance of the Queen piece!

    I must admit I haven’t read the books. :blush: The shaaaame! I will try to one of these days. But for now, I enjoy looking at the cute guys in the movie! ^_^
