Cake Of The Week
This week's cake is The Windmill cake.  This is an extreme cake meaning it has
a motorized element.  The windmill actually turns!  This cake as with all 3D cakes
is a level 3 cake made with buttercream.  This cake as shown served 132 and
retails for $990.  The cake elements were Buttercream, modeling chocolate,
gumpaste flowers, chocolate rocks, airbrushing & hand painting.  The base is
covered with gumpaste made to look like leather.  The edge of the base is
wrapped in rope to give that country living feel.  The motor is in the top of the
armiture that was made to support the massive pylon cake that created the
windmill.  The wires ran through the center of the armiture and attached to the
power pack underneath the base.  A volume control device was used to regulate
the speed of the rotation on the windmill.  This was a fun cake to make!
