Grandma C's Masterpiece

As most of you may already know, Grandma C's retirement hobby is cake decorating, and she makes these cakes for all family occasions.

So I turned 69, and she made this great gravity defying cake.

What a project!  It wasn't easy getting the noodles and chopsticks to stay up, and I had many stressful moments watching her!

    Awesome work of culinary art. Have I missed something? Ozzie cakes look like Chinese kway teow. Wonder what Ozzie Chinese kway teow look like? :))

      Ozzie Chinese kway teow? I once went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered char kway teow. It came, but instead of kway teow, the chef had used fettucine. That might answer your question?!?!!

      haha, there are hidden supports, and also there is the use of icing "stiffeners" (edible). Still it was very tense making it, wondering whether it can work or not!

      Thank you, Reader's Tales. The cake was inspired by a sign we saw in Tokyo - see the little movie clip here: http://i82muchblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/tokyo-walkabout.html
