Locked in Love, Cake Central Vol 5 Issue 1 - 11/30/13 - The good Folks at Cake Central contacted me again to take part in a segment! This challenge was exploring the idea of Love Locks - the practice where couples close a lock with their names upon it on various sentimental places (like bridges) to symbolize the permanence of their Love. Cake Central also sent me Inspiration that included the Chinese aspect of this tradition, including red characters and golden dragons. I took them literally, depicting two Golden Chinese Dragons entwined over a giant Lock, tenderly grasping their shared Heart between them. The Characters on the lock read "Forever Locked in Love". This was made of real cake, fondant and gumpaste. The Lock hasp has a wire support as do the Dragons. This cake appears on page 45 of Volume 5, Issue 1 of Cake Central Magazine! Big Thanks to Cake Central for the print opportunity, it was fun! XXOO
