Hey guys! I made a Haurchefant cake, and just wanted to share it with the community.

Nicely done. Now to sit it by a gravestone atop a snowy hill and stare intently into the distance while playing coertas theme with your hair blowing wildly in the wind

[Lersayil]

Very nice! But to be fair, you should probably poke a hole in the middle for the sake of authenticity.

[Vanitas]

Don't you dare eat that cake!

Don't you dare eat that cake!

Needs a crystal/glass like cake cutter first to be lodged/thrown into the middle of it.

What a well done job! What happens to the cut out cake pieces?

Eaten by people like me ;p

I was always the one to lick spoons, spatulas, and 'dispose' of bakery scraps. I have accepted this 'burden' and immense responsibility as a sworn duty, and I am no oath breaker! I'm all about the people.

It looks really good, though I probably would have split the cake and filled it with more buttercream or something of the sort. Crumb coating it first probably would have made it easier to handle and ice too.

How long did that take you to make though?

I'm pretty new at this, and since it was just for display--I didn't bother to fill it. I think maybe an hour to make? it felt like the time was flying!

I debated about adding the damaged part of the shield, but decided against it early on. I felt like it was more pure to leave it whole. I also thought about some of those silly little quotes about how 'new life' always blossoms where one has died to go with the flower theme, but at the end I just decided to keep things super simple.

Any suggestions on what kind of cake design I should do next? :3

If you're still quite new to cake decorating, I'd look for something about as simple as the shield you just did. Maybe try a moogle head laid flat? Or a Cactuar? Though a Chocobo might be pushing it.

Always start simple, no matter what. The more you practice, the more reasonably ambitious you can get.
