As promised, my mom's latest masterpiece! Please show her some love by liking/commenting/sharing. She poured her heart out on this one!

From Wikipedia:

The Battle of Sardarabad (Armenian: Սարդարապատի ճակատամարտ, Sardarapati č̣akatamart; Turkish: Serdarabad Muharebesi)[7] was a battle of the Caucasus campaign of World War I that took place near Sardarabad, Armenia from 21 to 29 May 1918, between the regular Armenian military units and militia on one side and the Ottoman army that had invaded Eastern Armenia on the other. As Sardarabad is approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of the capital of Yerevan, the battle not only halted the Ottoman advance into the rest of Armenia, but also prevented the complete destruction of the Armenian nation.

My mom designed this cake topper using fondant and cardboard. Styrofoam was unavailable thanks to quarantine closures, so she used the cardboard that comes in electronic boxes (she had recently purchased an item). She created a stencil by copying online images and then started constructing!! I had the privilege of painting the brown structures.

Harry Potter cake by Shakar Bakery

Fun facts:
1.I incorporated a lot of personal Easter eggs into our designs! I named many of the characters I sculpted after my nieces and nephew

2. I hadn't sculpted cake in over a year and refused to practice before the show just in case I lost my "beginners luck." Sometimes when you dont do something for a long time, the first time you do it it's magic... I wanted to save that magic and lucky for me gumdrop the baby yeti and maya the elf came out beautifully
3. I'm not happy with the elf's cheeks. I had a huge WTF moment when I completely forgot I sculpted her face out of modeling chocolate and not fondant. The mediums behave differently with edible dusts. The damage was done so I had no choice but to go extra pink on the cheeks

4. These sculptures are HUGE!!!! Stay tuned for another video where I trash my sculpted babies:) I'm waiting a few more days to give everyone a chance to watch

I LOVE COMPETING ON TELEVISION!!!!! I dont care how exhausting it is, nor do I always care about winning. Working with Food Network and is always a treat and as far as I'm concerned, I'll never say no when they invite me to television. I hope everyone enjoyed the show!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
