This is the groom's cake that sat alongside the Mango Calla Lilly Wedding Cake at Sweetwater Branch Inn.
Jeremiah & Megan are in the same doctoral program I was in at the University of Florida. Jeremiah specifically studies pain receptors and uses an apparatus that looks a lot like this one (and is technically called a Thermal Preference Apparatus):
So the goal for the groom's cake was to replicate it! Here's the cake:
The yellow is all buttercream. The walls of the apparatus were made of gum paste that was allowed to dry for 1 week. The other decorations are fondant, and the numbers are hand-piped with royal icing.
Oh, and the little rat was made out of modeling chocolate.
So fabulous! Love the rat.
ReplyDeleteVERY good... Looks esactly like the original
ReplyDeleteI had to show my kids this cake and they all thought it was pretty darn amazing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMel, that is AMAZING! I just burst out laughing (in a good way) when I saw this cake. I tried to explain it to my coworkers but they just walked away shaking their heads :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!
Your friends are into animal testing, huh? :| Not cool!
