Hello again,
Happy Chinese New Year to all my chinese friends and especially to Calvin who ordered a chocolate cake to celebrate New Year with his family. He ordered a Blueberry Cheesecake before and loved it so he wanted to taste my chocolate cake. He loved it too (he texted and told me so). I wanted to give him something special to celebrate and this year being the year of the dragon, I decided to make a 2D dragon to put around the cake. But again, I underestimated the difficulties of doing a 2D design. I thought it was easy just to cut the dragon from a paper stencil, but the gumpaste got stuck on the stencil and I couldn't get it to come off. Yeah...I know, I should've spread some sugared powder or cornstarch on the gumpaste. So, I was disappointed and I got at least two hours before Calvin 's pick up. I made up my mind to make a 3D figure instead ...with haste..haha. Here's some pictures of me doing the dragon. Its just a small and cute dragon. I loved it.
I don't own an airbrush but I used airbrush colours for the red skin of the dragon. I loved the red and then coloured all the spikes and mane with gold. Red and gold are auspicious colours for chinese. I actually finished the dragon in under two hours and I'm quite proud of myself. Here is a picture of the finished cake.
The only thing I don't like about the dragon is its teeth, I need to work on that next time. Hope you like my dragon. See you in a few days.
