Amazing Warcraft cake creations
World of WarCrafts spotlights art and creativity by WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music, fan fiction and more. Sample the whole spectrum on our Arts and Crafts in WoW page.
Once upon a time, decorating cakes consisted of homemade frosting and a spatula. These days, however, cake creation has developed into an art form that is technical enough to make one's head spin. Cake, frosting and fondant have evolved from edible delicacies into full-on sculptural elements that can be used to create some jaw-dropping stuff, like the cake pictured above. You might not realize it at first glance, but the whole thing is completely edible.
Deathwing's head was created to celebrate his demise in game -- and what a delicious way to celebrate! Created by Domestic Scientist, Deathwing shows an amazing amount of patience and attention to detail -- check out the veining on the horns and plates! For more photos and information on this amazing creation, check out The Domestic Scientist, and for more gorgeous cakes, follow after the break.

Speaking of amazing details, can you believe the cake pictured above is only an 8-inch round? From the careful attention to the character, including detailed pauldrons and tabard, to the tiny dark portal, huts, and even a miniature dragon, this cake is an impressive feat in sculpture. Created by Fondant Fetish over in the U.K., this is a tiny masterpiece of skill and creative prowess. And I'm guessing it tastes just as good as it looks!
For more photos of this fabulous cake, you can check out Fondant Fetish's gallery over on Cakes We Bake, or check out the lovely video they put together for YouTube, which shows even more of the gorgeous, tiny details and the construction behind this beautifully intricate
creation. And for more of the edible fabulousness of Fondant Fetish, you can check out her full list of galleries as well.
If you're looking for elegance and flair, this stein cake may do the trick for you. The stein is completely edible and was made for a groom's cake by Cup a Dee Cakes. This is not a tiny cake, by any stretch of imagination -- the creation is nearly two feet tall and a masterpiece of design. The images on the sides are a combination of edible paper and painting, and the gold on top of the stein is actually modeling chocolate -- completely edible and doubtless completely tasty, too!
While I've fiddled with fondant before, I've never tried my hand at anything as complicated as this, and I doubt I could ever pull it off. It's a beautiful creation and even has that distinctive look of the Taverncraft steins, right down to the gorgeous handle detail. The gold coins on the cake stand just add to the overall beauty of this piece.
For more information on this amazing design as well as shots of the stand and how it was put together, you can check out the blog for Cup a Dee Cakes. And while you're there, I'd suggest browsing around the other creations they've made -- they may not all be Warcraft creations, but they're absolutely astonishing, intricate, and lifelike works of art.
If you have any Warcraft-inspired baked creations, whether they're cakes, pies, or even cupcakes, drop us a line -- we'd love to feature you as well!
And if you aren't a baker but you've tried your hand at other craft projects, we'd love to hear from you too! Fan art, music, writing, clothing, figures, stuffed animals -- you name it, we'd love to see it. So send it in!

As lovely as cakes like this are, I've always wondered how good they actually taste. I can't imagine layers of sugar and fondant that thick being very appetizing after more than a bite.

It depends on the fondant and the chocolate and whatever else they're using to create the cake, really. Store-bought fondants are really gross, marshmallow fondant is pretty good. You have to roll out the fondant really thin, so it's not like you get a giant clump of it, usually.
I've seen a lot of the major sculptural elements made out of either modeling chocolate, which is like eating a giant piece of chocolate candy, or rice krispy treats -- they hold up well to being modeled, and well...it's a rice krispy treat. They're pretty tasty to most (I don't care for them too much myself, but that's just me).
Mostly it depends on what kind of materials you're using for all of it! XD

I guarantee that cake tastes like sawdust :P

Fondant can be a big problem when it comes to taste. Seems like it almost always tastes like icing sugar mixed with old jello. (Yes, I tasted old jello once when I was a kid.) These cakes are absolutely gorgeous, but they are more works of art than food.

My last birthday was my dwarf hunter. My sister was sneaky and copied him from the log in screen! Maybe not as flash as those but i love the beard and it tasted goooood!

Deathwing's head on a silver platter?
Kewl!
Pass the ice cream!

The stein cake was the best cake my husband could have ever wished for at our wedding. Jen at Cup a Dee Cakes makes the most delicious cakes ever. We went to MANY bridal shows in our area (ok I went and FORCED him to come with me lol) and I always loved the taste of her cakes best. The cake part of the stein was a spice cake (to compliment our Christmas themed wedding) and then the layers alternated with rum and cinnamon icing which combined to be insanely delicious. Of course the fondant on the outside has to be a bit thick to hold the shape of such a tall sculptured cake, but the taste of the cake itself absolutely couldn't be beat. We loved it so much we took a big layer on our honeymoon to Disney to have as an after flight snack :D
Killik Jan 20th 2012 5:09AM
Thanks for the extra info - that really is an amazing cake!
I really like the skill that's gone into the Deathwing cake, but I can't think of a single occasion in my life where a metal dragon-head gateau would be appropriate. Perhaps my first son's baptism.

Yummy!

Best I've done was cupcakes decorated as hearthstones... But meh. They were DELICIOUS! (blueberry/raspberry cake with cream cheese frosting *drool*)

Dont forget the best part. After the Cake is the LEWTS :D

Thanks for posting these, Anne. It's always fun seeing these. And also giving the readers like dashel77 and khisihn a chance to add more information was great. I'd love seeing more stuff like this.

Wow! These look really good. I've watched quite a few of those cake shows and some of those cakes didn't remotely look as good as these cakes! Those are pretty awesome looking cakes. Pats on the backs for the people who made them. Just lovely.
Zach Jan 21st 2012 1:01PM
Anne is right on the money. Store-bought fondant is pretty gross, mostly because it's chemically formulated to keep for a long time on the shelves and have a consistent texture. Marshmallow fondant is pretty good ... it's made from melted marshmallows and confectioner's sugar.
One of the earliest cakes we made after I stopped writing for WoW Insider and concentrated on making cakes full time was this Wind Rider cub:
