I recently had a last minute request for a special 40th Birthday Cake. The birthday boy was a big Stargate fan and wanted a special cake to top off his birthday celebrations. Well being as crazy as I am I decided to take it on. How could I say no, I am partial to a little Sci-Fi myself and had recently started watching Stargate Universe. Of course this major feat could not be undertaken alone. My partner Martin is the master of the airbrush and I knew with his help we could make this cake out of this world.
All in all it took around 35 man hours to create. Everything was finely detailed to match the gate from SG-1. I was super excited with the final results and thought you may want to see some of the progress pictures to see how we create an edible wonder such as this.
The first step, the gate is covered in fondant, the "event horizon" is airbrushed and the edges of the gate has the beginnings of it's details
The figurine is hand made from flower paste and the details are carved into it
The details on the stargate are built up layer by layer
The cake, the board and the gate are all airbrushed in edible metallic paint
The final result speaks for itself.
Me, loving the final result
i would like to know where i can find a detailed images of the stargate symbols. all 39 of them...
Hi Chris
The Stargate wiki has an article about the Stargate Glyphs. http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Glyph
OMG... you simply MUST share this with CakeWrecks.com for their Sunday Sweets feature! Jen, the Head Wreckporter, is a big sci-fi geek
Thanks Cleo, I will send it through to Cake Wrecks. It is a Sci-Fi Geeks dream cake. I get lots of great feedback on this one!
