Another birthday cake completed! This time a Kamen Rider Double cake!
For those of you who don't know: Kamen Rider is the series that would later inspire Super Sentai (generally known as Power Rangers in North America).
Now before anyone says anything I know that Shotaro's default mode (Joker) is supposed to be black but it didn't fit well into the colour scheme.
I also put the other Kamen Rider W symbols around the cake but they weren't anything to write home about... I was on a tight deadline and had to rush them.
This time I also used icing that was half shortening and half butter (because buttercream made with actual butter tastes much better). It worked well enough but it did start to melt a bit while I was decorating and the decorations aren't as "sharp" as they would be if I only used shortening.
I did enjoy the different icing tips for Philip's side (dots) and for Shotaro's (stars). I think it short of shows off their different personalities. Philip is calm and collected while Shotaro is edgy and listens primarily to his gut instincts.
Also I think my icing writing is getting better! ^ - ^ Victory!
I have to say that Kamen Rider Double has to be my favourite Kamen Rider series. I haven't seen Wizard yet. O . O
awesome work! (my icing skills suck, so I really think it's great!)
