This
cake was another grooms cake special request. This cake was requested
by a couple who were both architect majors in college. They had spent
several months in Italy the summer before their wedding. This was their
favorite architect site in their travels. I had no idea what this building
looked like when they asked if I could do buildings. I had a real surprise.
The cake itself is the square cake in the middle. 9 inches square with
all the porches constructed in miniature from gumpaste. This one cake
project took me 60 hours to work out. Making patterns, Figuring out the
dimensions, Just how to make the columns, How big to make the statues
on each porch and what could I make those out of. Lots of details to figure
out in this piece of sugar art.
The roof and porches were completely constructed
ahead of time and then placed on the cake where needed. 
As you can see here there were lots of little pieces in constructing the porches as well as all the windows and doors to add to the cake surface.
