TAG Heuer Aquaracer Man Automatic

Since one of my cakes published in Detik food:

http://www.detikfood.com/read/2010/07/16/185332/1401019/921/tag-heuer-slr-chronograph,

I received some emails asking about the cake and ending with the order...this is the result.

With a design that was different from before, this time customer ask TAG Heuer Aquaracer Man Automatic for her husband birthday.

Vanilla cake with the base cake's size was 30x22x4cm and the main part of the watch with a diameter of 22 cm. The cake was decorated with fondant and the details were using edible (food) black pen.

All the details were handmade from the logo until the numbers because there was no an alphabet cutter with such a small size like that.

This cake was ordered by one of NCC members, Diba, for her husband's surprise birthday gift. Diba wanted a watch cake as her husband is a collector of watches. Type the watch chosen by Diba was Tag Heuer SLR Merzedes Bens Limited Edition. After browsing the clue and found some pictures, I fell in love with this model:

The problem was about how to make the details. I suddenly  remembered the Royal Icing. I used the Wilton recipe as follows;
3 tablespoons meringue powder
1 lb. (4 cups) sifted confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons warm water.

Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer).

I made only 1/3 of recipe.


All the details of watch were handmade because there was no alphabet cutter  with such a small size. The Base cake used was vanilla cake with some cheddar blocks. Diameter of cake (body of watch) was 22 cm.


After the cake was finished I realized that this type that I made was not a Tag Heuer SLR Merzedes Bens Limited Edition as Diba wanted, but a Tag Heuer SLR Chronograph. Fortunately, Diba was such a kind and forgiving person. She said that her husband was very pleased to receive this cake. Lucky me...^_*.
