all that jazz

Michael  plays his cake...

saxophone cake

My father-in-law, Michael, is a saxophonist and avid Jazz fan, so I decided to attempt a slightly more complex shape than my usual, and go for a sax cake. 

I used a rectangular tin and then sculpted a (sort-of) saxophone shape from that. I covered it with white fondant icing, painted it yellow with food colouring, and then sprayed over the top with gold edible icing. 

It turned out a little bit squatter than I'd have liked, but it was a hit with Michael!
