My Special Techniques cake was fondant covered and then decorated in the Lambeth style using royal icing. The technique is very labor intensive and the cake showcases many hours of meticulous piping. I won first place and received many compliments.
My chocolate entry was, again, a ramped up class piece. The green ChocoMonster is made from rice cereal treats covered in modeling chocolate. The "rug" is also modeling chocolate done in a loose marquetry pattern. Everything except the internal structure is edible. The piece also won 1st place and earned me the Divisional title.
