Step 2The cake
The turret pan was hot glued to another piece of wood that was to act as the base. Anything that was to touch cake that was not stainless was covered with tin foil.
I made 4 cakes for this. One cake was baked in a pot the same diameter as the turret pan. A little bit of carving and I had my turret shape and clearance for the barrel and mechanism.
The other cakes were baked in a 9 x 11 inch pan. Once cooled the rounded tops were sliced off. These tops were used for the ground. The main parts of the cake were carved to fit around the mechanism and stacked to create the rough tank shape. All pieces were "glued" together with icing.
A bit of carving with a sharp knife and it was starting to look like a tank.
