Mermaid Queen Time Lapse

This is my entry from this years National Capitol Area Cake Show (2015). It won first place in my division. This took approximately 30 hours but it's only a rough estimate.
The cake is covered in modeling chocolate from www.sweetastic.com
The shells and crown are made from gumpaste from www.chocopan.com
The water and crown is made from isomalt from www.simicakes.com
The mermaid is painted with tinted cocoa butter and dusted with dusts from www.thesugarart.com
The clear pool of water is created from decogel from www.icingimages.com
The blue molds are from www.firstimpressionmolds.com

That moment when a cake is prettier than you :/

[@desireegalaskegalaske4982]

ikr I feel the same way =/

[@funtime1229]

Katy that's rude

[@emanchaudhry4937]

Katy , I know EXACTLY what u mean...

[@emanchaudhry4937]

Katy , not in a bad way or insulting way ,in a funny way

[@emanchaudhry4937]

Fun Time , she (katy) didn't mean it like that

[@BunhieKleever]

Not only is the piece beautiful, the artist very talented, but what I'm most impressed with is the fact the area she was working in looked like a small apartment kitchen (I could be wrong) with basic tools & equipment. It just shows that a dream can start very small and grow into something huge. I think the cake is beautiful, the colors work well and the face is very life like. Anyone that says otherwise should just shut their mouths and make their own darn cake.

[@shirokaraicat1005]

The fucking cake is like one million times better looking than me and it's a cake...

[@crowgrant5880]

no swearing please

[@crowgrant5880]

+Sylvia Grant also plz don't reply

[@kyle-tg7bi]

+Sylvia Grant it's the Internet, people are allowed to swear and if you're not, then KZbin isn't the right place for you.

[@user-tx2ql7yv5o]

the thing I don't like about these cakes is that when you want to eat it, you cut the person in half, and it looks like you're murdering them

[@froggyami6272]

Ahri is Life all it needs now is to be one of those cakes that has the red liquid that is supposed to look like blood

[@nico4283]

Ahri is Life lol, but thats the fun part! xD

[@totalH20]

How could anyone dislike this video?! This is pure magic!! I watched this with my jaw dropping further and further down and I'm sure if I was able to dislocate my jaw, it would be at the ground by now! This is truly the most amazing art and it fills me with joy to see such an amazing artist at work, keep up the great work!

[@ズーマー-n7l]

mah its most likely just soulless haters or jelous people.

[@vintagemxrs]

Yeah, they probably just envy their talent. :) But anyway, this is amazing and I got freaked out when she was putting in the eyes because it looked so real 0.0 TOO real! But it's amazing,

[@clairegwak218]

57 DISLIKES this needs to stop it's horrible, how do they not like it!!!??

[@sarahg6420]

why dislike it if you don't like it then you don't like it. disliking it just wastes your time.

[@caseyvlogs5382]

+Claire Gwak more like 91

[@joheadford6809]

These competitions are for more or less show rather than taste right?Either way your cake was Amazing!!

[@Artisancakecompany]

+Jovanna Headford yes only for show, they are on display for several days so probably wouldnt want to eat them lol

[@bevs1862]

+Artisan Cake Company omg im trying it though it wont look half as good as yours

[@tokazowskido]

This cake is amazing. I think it's beautiful. I can see the amount of time you put into it and all the details. Personally, I love how you have layered the shells and beads to make it all look like jewelry. It is truly amazing and you deserved 1st place for this cake. Congrats!

[@Artisancakecompany]

+Cake Hatteras Thank you so much

[@maryamirfan9890]

Totally speechlessss . Congrats. You deserve the 1st place. I wish i could be your student 😊 stay blessed.

[@Ambaruchii]

Wow I am blown away, that was such a beautiful cake and the level of detail is amazing!

[@ellebara]

2:05 that creeps me out

[@skinnyrat4277]

At the start all I could think of was how the cake looked like Voldemort.

[@Zenzele50]

Absolutely phenomenal!! Just beautiful. It deserved to win First Place. Congratulations!!

[@leannecraftandrandomstuff3868]

( MIND BLOWING ) Me: weres my head? Head: up here!

[@gidgetnsweetpealacarter9797]

I am pleasantly stunned by your amazing work! OMG! That was simply out of this world fantastic!! It ended way too soon so I had to subscribe so I could keep watching you make your magic!! Love your work, I'm off to watch more magic. 😉☺️

[@5Fayruz]

its nice but i wonder how you will eat the cake ?? how you will cut it ? :(

[@Artisancakecompany]

Fayruz A its only for a competition, you don't eat it. But if you where to eat it you just cut down from the top. There are support layers every few inches but you can't tell from the outside.

[@bitescratchkill6849]

Cut off its limbs

[@thatonealien9812]

You would just take your boobies then the arms in the head lol

[@hannahconnon4837]

turn it on its side and cut 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄🔪🔪🔪🔪🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

[@sliewood]

It's gotta be said.... why bother with the CAKE?????? This is just ART in the form of sugar; technically perfect..but not exactly recognisable CAKE.. Don't get me wrong-I completely appreciate how difficult fondant and chocolate is to work with and am totally in awe of anyone who can manipulate it like THIS... but I struggle to understand how you can pass this off as CAKE when such a small part of it is actually CAKE. Amy Swann... MissCakehead...You guys are artists-not really bakers huh?

[@Artisancakecompany]

It's 99% cake, from the body all the way up to the head. And it was for a cake competition. Why can't I be an artist AND a baker.

[@sliewood]

I'm sorry to contradict you..but the head didn't have cake in it on the video.? Fondant isn't cake. Anyway. I didn't want an argument- I'm not dissing your talent and it's nothing personal. I'm making a point. Punters see your awesome creations, order a cake and expect us ORDINARY bakers to produce something like this... for thirty quid. And when we don't, they give grief. Is this not a valid point??? Your talent and artistry is unquestionable. It's just a hard act to follow... x

[@Artisancakecompany]

I guess I am confused as to what your point is, it's not a tutorial, it's just a timelapse of the process of creating a cake that was for a cake competition. Some people enjoy watching an artist create art. Cakes are still cakes even if they have chocolate (which is what the head and body are made of) and fondant (the hair).

[@SailorXOdesSa]

+Artisan Cake Company Would you personally consider head's cake tasty if you were eating it? 0:22 did you sterilize objects? Imho, you more look like a sculptor in this video, because dry biscuit with a small amount of cream doesn't look tasty (I might be wrong tho).

[@marlowegreen1932]

+SailorXOdesSa you're honestly being super disrespectful, I can understand you're jealous, but please, keep it to yourself.

[@gemkrause]

who ate the cake after competition

[@animegirl3724]

thats a dumn quetsion!

[@gemkrause]

...

[@do_it_for_da_dopamine4289]

anime girl I was honestly wondering the same thing like would you eat it or not

[@do_it_for_da_dopamine4289]

I also think you meant "dumb" so....

[@onlyhuman806]

Aquatic Dino he called her anime girl because that is her username..

[@reenaalyssapecajas5001]

in 9:25 the CAMERA falls! HAHAHAAHAHAHA XD

[@Artbug]

I think I'm more amazed that you had to ship it and the TSA didn't break it o.O

[@smponce9]

I think I would have had to purchase it her own plane ticket next to mine...

[@jaysafi9703]

So much fondant........

[@Theavilesfamily]

it clearly says modeling chocolate.......

[@Q8OtakuBaker]

+Isa Montero modeling chocolate more tasty then the fondant 👌

[@purple-giraffe7862]

Read the description...

[@jaysafi9703]

No doubt the cake looks amazing but there is so little cake in it n a lot of decorative stuff(not fondant )..........I think these cakes are not that delicious as simple cakes with just icing

[@technocratblue]

Jawed Safi, I think you're missing the point

[@onigireee]

I'm in art school and I can't sculpt that as beautifully as you did. Wtf. -_- Not gonna lie, I kinda wish it wasn't a cake. It must be delicious, but I can't imagine hurting something so elaborate. *shudder*

[@ithila6712]

This just might be the most totally amazing thing i have EVER seen anyone do without help from anyone. Incredible! The cake is a work of truely artistic genius. I am in awe.

[@Thecakecrusader15]

Absoultely SPECTACULAR!, YOU are a TALENTED ANGEL!, Do not listen to ANY negative comments

[@NBDesign]

this was so beautiful it blew my mind!

[@snowpawzvideos]

Damn, she was looking scary at first then came out damn beautiful. xx

[@paulinaleon3319]

i tried this with play doh. Lets just say that i couldnt sleep for a couple days after putting it on display

[@mgoc5010]

One, I am SUPER envious and not afraid to admit that and two, how did you keep the modeling chocolate from becoming hard as you where working with it, it says it took you 30 hours. But I was wondering how you got the say, older layers to bend it so perfectly with the few hours later type of layers. did that make any kind of sense? Also, have you ever thought about doing something in clay first, then attempting it in chocolate or would the two mediums not be compatible so to speak. Like if you do something in clay that you couldn't do in chocolate? And even though this was for a contest, if someone ordered this type of cake and with the time you take to put into it, how much would you charge someone to make one for them? I personally wouldn't be able to hack into this thing, its like destroying the Mona Lisa or something. I'd feel bad. Make me a cake like this and bring me a pie to hack into, that'll work hahahah Oh and one more thing, YOU ARE A BAKING ARTIST. absolutely, stunning work and yes I am jealous of your amazing talent. Keep it up. I love seeing stuff like this from other people, because I can't do it myself. at least I haven't attempted it ......yet. :)

[@Artisancakecompany]

I don't move any old layers of modeling chocolate, once I'm done with an area I can't go back and change anything, only build on top of it. Modeling chocolate is great for that :)

[@mgoc5010]

oh okay, so you just added more to the spot and smoothed it out. what did you use to smooth it out? because I saw on your lion head time laps that he looked wet all the time as you were working on him.

[@Artisancakecompany]

The tiger was fondant over ganache so it works a little differently. The modeling chocolate just smoothes out when you press on it with your fingers or a modeling tool. Because the chocolate underneath hardens up, when you put more on top that's soft, it easy to smooth out the edges

[@mgoc5010]

oh okay, I thought the tiger was modeling chocolate. thanks for letting me know that, I love how you did that one. Can the painting be done without an air brush? Last question I swear, :)

[@Artisancakecompany]

Yes you can brush on paint but it wont have as soft as a look as the airbrush :)

[@mantracures]

Amazing!!..were you a sculptor before becoming a cake maker?

[@Aishwaryabhat15]

this is kinda freaky .... the beginning part

[@htate4954]

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A-MA-ZING!!!!! This is a true price of art!!! OUTSTANDING JOB!!!!

[@peachybeck]

if i ever made it id probably drop it right after

[@enakoracexsofranac4290]

That's ...WoW...EPIC!!! This one should be somehow kept. I don't know if it's possible, because of the cake inside...but maybe in a vacuum box or something like this...this is something I could never eat ,it's just too beautiful! :) Fantastic work. Artisan cakes make the most beautiful cakes,but this is epic!!

[@BeyondBubbles]

I wonder if this is how they make sims

[@NeelTheSphynx]

WOW! She's gorgeous. The intricacy of the jewelry is incredible.

[@danic5208]

the mermaid looks like the creator in the thumbnail! the details were amazing. kudos!

[@antoniaodonovan7448]

Beautiful work!!!! Amazing, congratulations!!!

[@Arthen1ce]

holy fucking cow!! you're such an brilliant artist!

[@ashilag8616]

At 2:05:- it was funny :D But at 11:09:- That was AWESOME♡_♡

[@berkhan1774]

wow you clearly demonstrates the difference between cake art and cake decoration .. that's a whole lot of fondant.

[@kaasshko]

the first three minutes are terrifying lol, great job though!

[@princehannie]

AMAZINF craftsmanship! I really thought this was going to be a hair/makeup entry, but it's CAKE WOW. CONGRATULATIONS!!

[@ninadimaandal6049]

DAMN....... SON.

[@soapymarshmallow]

wait no i thought it said "dank modeling chocolate"

[@m0ldy_cupcake]

I think you have some cake in your fondant.

[@elizabethgray469]

This is absolutely breathtaking! What sort of tools do you use to aid in your sculpting? I saw that you use the sugar shapers, but do you prefer the soft or hard set?

[@Artisancakecompany]

Elizabeth Gray These are the tools I use astore.amazon.com/articakecomp-20 plus I also like the soft shapers from innovative sugar works. If you become a patron on www.patreon.com/sugargeekshow I have a face sculpting tutorial in there :)

[@elereal]

I want to see her CUT IT OPEN!!!

[@Cakescake252]

Wow is all I can say.... U are so talented

[@reenaalyssapecajas5001]

[@mrs.yellow_ledbetter2911]

Where are you guys located? I couldn't remember from the Food Network special, even though I just watched it on here. Haha Sadly, I think I'm on the opposite side of the country of you, I'm in Pennsylvania, but man, you guys would be awesome to have do a wedding cake for my wedding. There's so much talent in your company. My mind is just blown away seeing what you guys are capable of!

[@susiesmith7694]

[@annaliswilson945]

[@ashyoung3326]

This is actually incredible!! At 1:28 it kinda looked like Voldemort 😂😂😂😂 (sorry I'm a potter head, don't hurt me!!😂😁) 😂😂😂😂

[@beatricewalker6018]

I am convinced that God gives some people talents and gifting's that others are just not privy too! This was absolutely beautiful! You are so extremely gifted, such a artist. Keep showing us your beautiful work, I loved to watch your hands show us your mind!

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

I can't believe this was only 30 hours of work! This cake is just a work of art! If I hadn't seen it being made, I wouldn't believe such a thing could be done. The face is so realistic, regal and beautiful. This deserved to win first place. The talent God has put in you is enormous!

[@Greekgirl36]

Liz, that was amazing. There are simply no words to describe how freaking incredible that cake is. I love watching your videos. You are an unbelievable talent and so inspiring. Congrats on first place! It was so well deserved!!

[@CoffeeSpice2015]

Wow this is amazing! Creative is an understated word. Thumbs up!

[@adrhianna]

i'm sorry, really, this is no fucking cake.... this is face reconstruction skill, or talent if you wish. it's sculpture, or clay/chocolate modelling. cake? what cake? the insignificant thing at the bottom of the beautiful architectural thing that is the head? i wouldn't eat the head... cakes are supposed to be delicious, i highly doubt that about this head. (not judging the beauty of this thing, it's amazing, but it's not a cake)

[@secretspirit24e]

This cake sculpture is amazing! I just want to ask how you did her hair? Absolutely beautiful, I'd love to make some this amazing, I've just got to many ideas to put something together :)

[@franzeriksantoyas925]

What an amazing masterpiece! I want to ask though if the one on the head specially the brown one is thick choco ganache? What about the other one? I think the beige one? Is that made from fondant or choco ganache? @artisan

[@jacquelinepearson7424]

oh my gosh ..this is beyond amazing ... and I 100 percent believe you can make artistuc cakes and make such a unique cakes full of wow factors ...I wish one day I can make cakes like this ..have to keep practicing ...you are really amazing!

[@melyxanXIV]

[@somebodytolove12345]

Imagine spending 30 hours on a cake and then another couple hours condensing 30 hours of video into 10 minutes. I'm extremely impressed with both the cake and your dedication to showing everyone how she was made. Thank you.

[@Trash.baby.2004]

That moment when you thought it was cake..... I know it wouldn't stay good at room temperature for that long but eh lol
