So here it is, the birthday cake made for my nieces 10th birthday party today. I made the cake design very simple with a green stem going around the cake with one large leaf on top for the LPS snail to sit on. The cake was a plain chocolate cake as requested by my niece.
To finish the cake I placed some pink gerbera/daisy flowers, mostly to hide some minor cracks, but they did suit the soft yellow cake very well in the end.
Remember that you can see step by step of how I made the LPS snail (without written details though) in the gallery.
Happy Caking!

Thank you Louise! I just made a snail and a snake LPS 2 days ago for my little girl party on next Saturday and I used fondant not SP. The problem was, the snake head was cracked (not when I made it). I stored them in a air tight container but the fondant melted and the figured were distorted. Any suggestion? I thought I can make the figures ahead of time since I have to work so I do it when I can. What should I do? How far in advance can I make the figure and how should I store them? Please help! Thank you.

Thank you Louise for sharing. Is your SP the same as chocolate clay? Thank you.

dai: Its all about the crumbcoating of the cake and who you cover it with fondant. There are loads of great podcast on that on youtube.
LPS Fan: I dont know if its me you are reffering to? But I cant see Cake Boss here in Denmark. This cake came from my thoughts and turned it into sugar and cake.
