St. Helens – the Edible version"},"content":{"rendered":"

This was a journey requiring 1 hour of shopping, 6 hours of mixing and baking, and 1.5-2 hours of decorating. The idea came out of a weekend getaway in the enchantments. On the drive home, a two hour discussion then turned into reality: a cake in the shape of the famous Mt. St. Helens. It even included spirit lake, the logs, and certain contours around the area. Besides that, all the ingredients except for the tan-sand colored frosting was home-made. The base material was made of a sponge cake, the same as what the Hungarian Dobos Torte is made of. Here is the time-lapse in pictures:<\/p>\n

First rough cake-looking part. This will be the main mountain.

The frosting I made – It is a mixture of coconut oil and semi-sweet chocolate chunks from trader joes<\/a>

Spirit lake being created…

Bird’s eye view of the contoured mountain. Looks like a mess without frosting and cover up.

Frosting starting to be applied

Almost finished, only the vegetation missing now.

Finished! (not the best quality…) this is when we presented it to the birthday boy. Maybe next time I’ll put an explosive in the crater or some dry ice or something.

The birthday boy was really happy for the cake. real man hug \ud83d\ude09
