This was the first time I have ever made this cake. It was a challenge, but I enjoyed it very much! The cake is made using a small 8 inch, a 7 inch, a 6 inch and a 4 inch to get the height and shape. Butter cream and jam used to sandwich it all together.
Then left in the fridge for an evening until set and I started to work on the folds. The fondant was pinched and tucked to create the folds and I did have to do it in two sections as it was so big. In order to create the shading for the eyes and mouth I had to use the air brush. I did two shades of brown over the cake first. and then two shades of black and brown for the eyes and mouth.
Once that was done I could start working on the characters. This is one of my best cakes, I really enjoyed making it :).
So I will be honest and say I know nothing of this band, nor from looking at pictures of them or reading a bit about there short life do I want too.
But an order is an order and this cake was quite popular, even though the design is simple it is the figures and getting the hair right for each little guy that makes it I think.
