A while ago, I wrote a random post on different cakes that I had made over the years. I really enjoy baking and wondered if I could combine my hobbies of baking and 40k. I decided to have a go at an ambitious project of making a Rhino in cake form. So, this weekend I decided to give it a go as I had bought the icing fondant a while back and it was quickly going out of date. Below are the photos of my weekend baking.
 |
| What I am aiming for (kind of). |
The cake is a chocolate sponge with chocolate icing (from the Great British Bake Off book).
 |
| The basics are made. |
 |
| The sponge is cut to size. |
 |
| Icing the Chassis. |
 |
| Side of the Chassis. |
 |
| First layer of icing. |
 |
| Adding the front detail. |
 |
| Rear hatch complete. |
 |
| For tactical marines. |
 |
| Adding detail to the side. |
 |
| Ultramarines symbol added. |
 |
| Almost done. |
 |
| The finished vehicle. |
 |
| I added little rivets (round cake toppings) with some tweezers. |

| Size comparison with one of my White Scars Rhinos. |
Hope you liked it, I'll let you know how it tastes when I get round to eating it (hopefully not all by myself!).
Brilliant! Looks amazing. How it tastes is a very important question.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, no-one in work want to cut into it!
DeleteHahaha how cool is that :D Wrong color tho :P Good job!
ReplyDeleteI only had blue icing to work with! Next time, I'll do a proper Dark Angels one.
DeleteNo! White Scars! :D
DeleteLooks great, dude! It's too bad fondant isn't as good taste-wise as it is for decoration.
ReplyDeleteYeah, people complain that most of my cakes are about 50% fondant most of the time.
DeleteAwesome stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou need to send that to White Dwarf Daily ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat is that?
DeleteIt looks great, and also the right size for a true scale rhino :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Don't forget to eat it in the name of the emperor.
ReplyDeleteAnd they shall know no fat!
ReplyDeleteGreat one Nick!
Deletecheaper than a GW one? if the opponent scores a hit does he get a slice?
ReplyDeleteI think so, forget how much all the ingredients cost. I guess he gets a slice for each successful hull point. Might cause them to focus on the Rhino and leave my nicer stuff alone.
Deletegenius!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm caaaake! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the detail you did on the hatches and the exhaust :-) Bravo!
