Cake Decorator
This is along the same viewpoint as the fruit sculpture- cake decorator. You are trying to take an object and make it edible, at least enough of it to be shared and then eaten at a party. Food Network has a television program named, Ace of Cakes, where a team creates crazy objects out of fondant, cake, and icing. Sometimes the cakes go as far as having motorized or illuminated pieces. It seems in the cake-decorating field they have conquered the typical two-dimensionalness of the sheet cake and moved upwards to the third plane. With the use of airbrushes depth and special textures can be added to any cake and made to be more realistic of the object it is trying to portray. One can only guess where you would begin to cut the cake if it is in a three-dimensional form.
