Baby Beluga

Baby Beluga is a lively children's song by Raffi.  The song has been made in to a book with brilliant illustrations that became inspiration for my sugar art.  I started with a 1/4 sheet cake.  After carving and filling the cake with chocolate fudge frosting, I then covered it in homemade fondant.  It is the fondant that became my canvas for the art.  Each and every element of the picture was hand painted with food coloring and gently carved or sculpted to enhance the image.  I used gumpaste for the type print . 
The children loved eating this delicious cake after watching a performance by Don Sinetti AKA The Sea Chantey.  Don performs in Sitka, AK each year to celebrate "Whalefest". 

Happy Whalefest!
