Episode 8

Architect turned cake artist Michelle must build big to impress a retiring architect with a cake model of his last project. Made from vanilla sponge sandwiched with buttercream, the exterior is carefully crafted right down to fine details, such as realistic brickwork and tiles. Nastassja goes for gold with a blooming lovely wedding cake. Standing at four foot tall, the salted caramel cake is delicately colour-washed, stencilled with royal icing, and adorned in a swirling mass of hundreds of handmade fondant and wafer paper petals: hanging from florist wire branches. Molly is made up to be making a giant edible makeup box. At 40 kilos, the cake is decorated with leopard print, and sculpted into 60 intricately made cosmetics - including cookie compacts, lipsticks, and even edible eye lashes.
