Retirement cake for a beloved colleague..he’s known for many impressive things but one of them is his steadfast commitment to wearing a woolly jumper (the Australian term for what Americans would call sweaters), no matter the weather. ✊

So it’s a stack of jumpers cake. Each jumper is its own individual lemon cake, filled with cherry jam, vanilla buttercream and crushed Shortbread Cream biscuits. The zip is edible too, if you felt the yen to (best not tho.) Swipe to the end to see the pre carved cake, and then the innards.

Is the outside made of fondant? How did you achieve that texturing?

u/ZookeepergameSoft358 Nov 20 '25

I did a double take when I saw the word cake. Fully thought it was a clothing ad!

u/deliberatewellbeing Nov 19 '25

omg how long did it take to pipe that?! the realism on the knit is crazy good

24

u/chaun619 Nov 20 '25

That’s not piping. It’s likely modeling chocolate or fondant with texture added

u/random420x2 Nov 20 '25

Until the 6th picture I had no idea why I was looking at the shirts, amazing work.

u/m0nstera_deliciosa Nov 20 '25

I’m stunned! 😳 How did you create the knitting texture- is it a mold you press the fondant into? This is so realistic I can hardly believe my eyes!

Whoa 😮

u/BeesoftheStoneAge Nov 20 '25

I hate fondant with a passion, but this is pretty cool. Points for not laying your fondant 2 inches thick, I think this is the thinnest fondant I've seen on a cake. If more fondant cakes were like yours, I could deal with them.

u/Self-Identified Nov 20 '25

THIS IS A CAKE?!? 😱 Well done, OP!! 🎉✨
