Om Mani Padme Hum, Incredible India - An International Cake Collaboration v2 - 11/16/18 - I was so honored to included in the 2nd year of this amazing India-inspired Cake Art Collaboration! Over 129 Artists from around the World came together to create this amazing tribute to India.
As a western American girl, my biggest impression of beautiful India is through the Om Mantra, taught me as a teenager during my first exposure to meditation. Om Mani Padme Hum, is The Jewel Within the Lotus (Generosity -Ethics - Patience - Diligence - Renunciation - Wisdom). This piece speaks to the Lotus, the Light & the depths within.
Sugar Lotus of Enlightenment float serenely on top of a murky pond filled with gumpaste stems that root the soul to existence. Sculpted from Cake, Caljava fondant/. The stems were mounted into a custom mold, which was then filled with molten sugar. This 3lb panel of solid sugar was then lit from behind by #LED lights, isolated from all cake and buttercream, so that it was lit even while being cut. I used many of my model building skills, and created a cardboard polyhedron for all the pattern pieces.
Huge thanks to Tina Scott Pashar and all her admins. Be sure to check out all 129 artist contributions - there are some truly amazing pieces in there!!
