One of my favorite artists is Forest Ceramic Co who makes colorful carved ceramics. This cake was inspired by this artist. I made a chocolate cake and frosted it with different colored buttercream layers (white, turquoise, and purple). I first frosted it with turquoise, then froze the layers for 30-60 minutes. Then I added the purple layer, froze it, and finally the white layer and froze it. My sister is a sculpture major in college, so I borrowed her ceramics tools for sculpting and asked her to come over and help me. It was exciting to improvise the process like a ceramic artist. We made this cake the day before I took the SAT Subject tests in Biology and Math II. I probably should have been studying instead of making this cake, but it all worked out in the end.
