 Here is a side view to show the carving. I carved this from a single layer vanilla sheet cake so all the parts, mermaid, rock, ocean, are all cake and from one piece. The entire work is completely edible.

Beautiful! And so lifelike!

My catgirl would jump on her without thinking twice. She would be disappointed to discover it is not a real fish.

Have you seen the TV show "Pushing Daisies"? The hero is a pie maker.

:-) Cristy Ann Ballard replies: "I haven’t. Shockingly, I don’t have tv. No basic channels, not even cable. I have a tiny portable dvd player that I occasionally watch movies on but that’s it. It’s been about ten years since I had tv. What’s the show about? I might could rent it at blockbuster. That’s where I discovered Dead Like Me... which I love."

The two season series is about a man who has the ability to bring things - people, animals, plants, fruit - to life, at a price.

It is an original and hilarious dark comedy. The hero, also known as "The Piemaker", keeps a low profile, and earns a living baking pies. He saves money by getting spoiled fruit for nothing, and turning it fresh.

He also moonlights as a private detective, to solve murders.

oh my gosh! This is gorgeous!!! I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to eat it, hahaha. How long did this take you to do??

:-) Cristy Ann Ballard replies: "Thank you so much! It took about an hour to decorate, not counting baking time."

Amazing.

I don’t think I could make a cake sculpture because I think I’ll be doing a lot of cringing as they cut into it and eat it.

:-) Cristy Ann Ballard replies: "Surprisingly, I find that after the cake is gone it is sort of a release, like, "Okay, that’s done, now let’s move on to the next one." Temporary art kind of forces you to enjoy it while you have it because you know it’s not going to last. 2 "
