Armchair as a cake

[chrissy]

Hi all i am think of making a fathers day cake in the shape of an armchair, i have seen one somewhere on a book, i wondered if anyone knew how to make the chair shape out of sponge please. Thanks

I've done one - if you look at www.emmascakes.co.uk you'll see a picture.

I made a fruitcake (I'm sure sponge would be fine - just make it very chilled before cutting it) which came right to the top the the tin (I think it was a six inch tin) Then when it came out I sliced off a bit less than an inch off the top. I then cut this circle of cake in half and used one of the semi circles as the back rest of the chair. I cut the other semi circle in half and used them as the armrests. I had to use marzipan to stick it together and sooth over the joins although I guess buttercream could be used just as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed making this cake - hope you do too!

i have made a cake like this, using a book, i think it was carol deacon no time party cakes,
but was easy to sculpt using simular instruction to what emma has just said

Thankyou both for the reply, emma your cakes are gorgeous, i have also looked at the one you made that is on your website, lovely........ as i need some inspiration.
i was thinking of making a round cake and a smaller chair, but then i would have to put a person on it and i am not good at modelling, but thanks i will see what i can come up with, and thanks dizzy i will go have a look for that book.
