Chibitalia cake

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I looked in the rules and I think this is classed as a fanwork, but if not, please delete with my apologies.

So I'm a rather terrible artist. What I do instead is bake cakes! Today, I iced my favourite Hetalia character, the always adorable Chibitalia,


If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them :)

OMG! Want it too! With Britannia Angel on it çAç ç__ç awesome like Prussia çAçb

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

Britannia Angel would be a good idea for my next project, I think!

DO WAAAAAAAAAAANT. But...I think I'd end up letting it get stale from not eating it because it's so cute. xD

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

This is generally what happens, unfortunately!! But then I feel guilty for throwing the cake in the bin, so I have started making the effort to eat them!

[kobalto.livejournal.com]

SO CUTE!!! *dies*

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I know, right? He's so adorable!

[sutera.livejournal.com]

Awww.... I want it, too... but I might not be able to eat it since it's sooo cute. *A*

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I find it helps if I eat from the feet upwards :D

OH MY GOOOOOOD

You should definitely go into cake decorating. A++

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I wish I could! Unfortunately, I don't think the market is capable of sustaining an anime bakery!

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely be eating it, since it's a lemon sponge (my favourite!)

[seiichirou-uta.livejournal.com]

Hey, I like to do such things, too. Sadly I never make cake for myself only for others. I did Optimus Prime and Spiderman once.
I always have so much fun decorating cakes. But meee.... no one I know likes Hetalia. I would do Gilbird and ChibiGilbert or so. <3

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

Oh no one I like likes Hetalia either. I did a Bleach birthday cake for my best friend last year which was a big hit! I also made Bleach cupcakes for my anime club.

Chibi Gilbert and Gilbird would be so cute!! You should definitely do it and post pics :D

I'd probably, like... eat the hat first, then the bunny and so forth. XD Try to preserve Chibitalia himself as long as possible. But that is definitely amazing! :D

... And now, thanks to seiichirou_uta's comment above, I can't help but think about a cake shaped like Gilbird. And Prussia watching it being eaten. ... Or alternatively, feeding it to the real Gilbird himself. ... Dammit, this idea needs to be conveyed to our group's Germany. XD

[seiichirou-uta.livejournal.com]

Oh you evil person you. Poor Gilbert.

Want. Pictures. NOW! XD

[meihime-sama.livejournal.com]

Omnomnom. I would eat that in a heartbeat.

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

XDDDD what's your name, France?!

[letthemhavepie.livejournal.com]

That looks so tasty!
Mmm..Is that chibitalia on yellow cake.
God why I'ma craving cake lately I don't even like cake that much! Truth be told I'm more of a pie girl myself

BTW
Your Icon is AMAZING. I seriously busted out laughing when I saw it. Oh emo Jesus!

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

Oh I love making pie too!! Probably a little more than I like baking cakes. But it's hard to ice a pie... ;)

And thanks! I love this icon too XD

[natures-song.livejournal.com]

Wow! That must have taken a lot of patience to decorate, kudos to you. It's very cute. :D

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

There are moments during the decorating process that I feel like throwing the whole thing out the window, yes!

And oh my god, your icon XD

[pinkydbzfan.livejournal.com]

HEHEH im going to be doing something like this too. Im new to cake decorating, so im doing american and england mochi for my first cake. HETALIA CAKE KICKS ASS!!!!. I would so nibble on your chibitalia cake :)

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

What I do is use icing that can be rolled flat, and then I draw templates on greaseproof paper to cut shapes out of the icing. Then I build up the icing in layers (for example, green skirt, white apron, marzipan arms, white bunny) and then add the detailing with piped icing.

This I think is the easiest way of doing it, but if you're planning on doing something else, then i'd love to know what technique you'll use! Mochis are so cute :D

[sakurita.livejournal.com]

That´s adorable!! :D

Cake decorating is also a form of art. :)

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

Well this is what I thought! It can be fanart even though it was done in sugar rather than pencils, right? ;)

[robotgeisha.livejournal.com]

XD Its so darn cute!! I think if I had to choose...I'd take a slice of Italy's curl and EAT IT! XD You did a fantastic job! it looks just like chibitalia! I hope it was tasty! :3

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I started eating it this morning and it's lovely :D his curl is chocolate and so is very delicious indeed - though I felt a bit mean cutting it off!

[kitsunemischief.livejournal.com]

I want that cake so badly! Ooh I want to eat it so badly!

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

It's so cute I'm having trouble eating it XD

[hikari0205.livejournal.com]

Oh gawd, that's adorable. Looks so tasty. I so wish I could steal a piece. <3

I love baking cakes. You said this is lemon, right? Sounds so tasty. I'm better at making a simple sponge cake myself. 8D;; No good at decorating them though. What type of icing did you use to colour it?

I so wish I could get one of these cakes for my sister's birthday. So damn cute <3

[shebangsthedrum.livejournal.com]

I wish you would steal a piece! There's far too much for me and my housemate to eat!

Yeah, it's a sponge recipe but I add lemon juice and zest just to give it a bit of extra flavour. If I wasn't icing it then i'd make a drizzle syrup to cover it with to keep it moist. However, when I'm doing picture cakes I make a fondant icing and then colour it with food colouring. For flesh-toned areas I use white marzipan. Then I can roll it flat, cut out shapes using greaseproof paper templates and then assemble the various layers. You can't see it very well on that picture, but the icing is layered to give a 3-d effect.

I should start a custom cakes business, I think :D unfortunately I'm limited to the south east of England XD

[littlenym.livejournal.com]

Wooow!
If I ever made anything that amazing and delicious,
I could NEVER eat it! O___O

Cuuuute cake! x3
