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!

Hi I wanted to make this cake do you still have the link for how to make the snail? Please
hi Louise, my name is Viviana and I love the cake design!!
I wanted to signal you a disagreeable thing, an Italian cakedesigner (lallaby cakes) has inserted a photo of one creation of yours for a course of cakedesign, and she has affixing us her logo, I send you the link where you find the image https://www.facebook.com/lallabycakes.ilaria, I have the file on my pc if you want it, it is small because to the moment the image has been removed by the site, but meanwhile publicity is made for having participants to the course there. I tell you it because I don’t appreciate who appropriates of other people’s job, for me it was enough that it said to make one cake of yours and not to put us her logo as it was one creation of her…first of all the loyalty.
Viviana
Hi there, Thank you for the notice. I cannot see the photo at the moment? Unfortunately this happens all the time 🙁
Love it

I’m sorry. I can see that this reply came out to late. I did have some photos for the LPS snail in the old gallery. The new gallery is still not up and running properly. Also I did not have a complete tutorial only a few photos during the making of the snail. I’m sorry that I cannot help you with your project.
Once I found your site and i was so impressed with your work. I lost it but today I am glad I found it again. Thank you for teaching us all your ideas. Your cakes are beautiful. Congratulations.
Can you eat the snail?
yes i can
Vicki: I use about 2 tsp to half pound of RF. Normally I just take a piece of RF and then just add the tylo, no excact measures. This way I may use more but then the RF will be very “strong” and dry hard. I never eat the decoration.
How much Tylose do you add to the RF? What is the proportion? Thank you.
Vicki
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.
Vicki
vicki tran: No, its like rolled fondant only I have added tylo powder to the RF.
Thank you Louise for sharing. Is your SP the same as chocolate clay? Thank you.
Vicki
Oh this is so gorgeous
Trop mignon;-)
Bravo!
