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!

Supplies:
Gumpaste
Rolling pin
Exacto knife or Scalpel
Toothpick or Chopstick
Parchment Paper
Cullen Crest printout
Lemon extract or Vodka mixed with luster or petal dust color of choice!
