It Is Party Time With These Wonderful Carnival Cakes!

This Fabulous Carnival costume cake was made by Jean Schapowal from Cakes With Character.

This is the second day of a four part series featuring cakes from the Carnival Cakers Collaboration which is an annual virtual international event that showcases and celebrates different carnivals around the world. The administrator is Heba Elalfy, the owner of Sweet Dreams by Heba. 

Nigeria’s ‘Calabar Carnival and Festival’ is featured this year. It is known as Africa’s biggest street party. This carnival lasts through the entire month of December each year. Calabar aims to include more aspects of local Nigerian heritage and culture, while at the same time strengthening the capacity of locals to participate in an economically beneficial way. 

Various cake, cookie and sugar artists from around the globe contributed a design using fondant, royal icing, modeling paste, isomalt, wafer paper, etc. Hosting a collaboration takes tremendous planning and effort. The Carnival Cakers have once again risen up to the challenge and created amazing cakes, cookies and figurines.

Here is Jean’s description of this Fabulous cake:

Using a combination of Satin Ice fondant, Icing Images wafer paper and Simi Isomalt, I created a colorful costume with big ruffled pants and a textured headpiece. Wafer paper was layered to achieve texture and then I added the Isomalt shapes.

Here is Jennifer’s description of this Fabulous cake:

The gingerbread figure and headdress were hand cut. Each dragee in various colors were individually placed for a jeweled effect. Wafer paper airbrushed in blue creates the ruffles on the headpiece and the front of the top. The dragees were colored using gel color.
