For this cake, I used a cold chocolate cake that I cut to fit the middle structure. I carved out space for the arms to fit. Ganache is one of my favorites for carved cakes it makes the cake sturdy.
Sometimes I use buttercream for the filling and ganache for the outside. You can use all ganache also and flavor it for a great tasting filling. For more tips on ganache ratios, use this post.

For sculpted cakes, I usually have a few go-to tools at a minimum I use as knives, sculpting or modeling tools , scalpel or Xacto knife , and rolling pins.
I usually use three different size knives. One is a green my favorite color pairing knife that I used to make small cuts and a medium size serrated knife and ginormous cake knife that I use depending on the project. Very rarely do I use the large knife unless I am torting a large piece of cake. Other tools include sculpting tools, I used the Dresden tool a lot.

The scalpel or Xacto knife is perfect for making sharp and smooth cuts. This gives your fondant or modeling chocolate a nice look. Finally smoothing the cake. Sculpted cakes usually have various shapes and getting buttercream or ganache smooth is important for a smooth fondant. I use flexible smoothers , for a smooth cake they get around weird shapes and corners.
I use a variety of sizes, but you can also use acetate. Acetate sheets are a great replacement for flexible smoothers. I use whatever I have on hand to get the smoothness I am looking for. Flexible smoothers can be used on fondant or modeling chocolate. The reason I use flexible smoothers is that it is difficult to use spatulas on certain angles, or weird corners.
To smooth out the Optimus Prime cake I ran the flex smoother under some warm water and smoothed out the ganache. For the final cake add fondant or modeling chocolate. I used fondant for his head, arms, and legs. Cake after all the details are added. Finished with a sword. Toggle navigation.
