I live in Melbourne &#8211; a hour and twenty minute flight away, so I forewarned them that the cake may not travel well.  Walking through the airport carrying a cake was like doing a continuous weighted bicep curl.  Cakes are heavy!  The gate seemed to be so much further away than when towing a wheel suitcase.  Once on board the cake had to be stowed in the overhead luggage compartment and while the main part of the flight was smooth, I was extremely nervous when we hit bad weather and couldn&#8217;t land.  We spent and extra 30 minutes circling.  Every time we turned I could see the ocean out of the opposite side window and then we would level out again.  I was imagining the lens rolling off the cake and all sorts of problems.  Watch the video to see what it looked like when I arrived.   <\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wd16iWQ0aic\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>To make this 3D Camera cake you will need:<\/h4>\n<p>Camera Cake Template:<\/p>\n<div align=center>\t<p class=\"product woocommerce add_to_cart_inline \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<a href=\"?add-to-cart=86301\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-product_id=\"86301\" data-product_sku=\"\" data-quantity=\"1\" class=\"button buy-it-now-button add_to_cart_button product_type_simple\"><span class='button-label'>Buy<\/span><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&#36;<\/span>5.99<\/bdi><\/span><\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/paypalvisaetcforunderselz\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2 1\/4 x my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/chocolate-cake-recipe\/\">rich chocolate cake recipe<\/a> baked in three trays, my tray are 38cm (14.96 inches) x 25.4cm (10 inches)<\/p>\n<p>Simple Syrup (mix 1\/2 cup sugar and 1\/2 cup water in a cup, heat in the microwave until melted then allow to cool)<br \/>\nA triple batch of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/buttercream-cupcake-frosting-recipes\/\">vanilla butter cream recipe<\/a> or whatever flavour you prefer from that page<\/p>\n<p>1.5kg (3.31 pounds) Black Fondant<br \/>\n700g (24.69 ounces) White Fondant to cover the board<br \/>\ntiny bit of red fondant for a button<br \/>\nwhite, red and green food colouring for painting on button details<\/p>\n<p>Other:<br \/>\nCake board (print the camera shape on the template and choose a board that it fits on nicely)<br \/>\nCake support board (see shape on template)<br \/>\nIsomalt<br \/>\ntylose powder<br \/>\nvery fine paintbrush<\/p>\n<p>Make all the buttons and fondant details.

Then whip up some buttercream.  Use the template to cut out the cake layers and stick them with simple syrup and buttercream in the order marked not he template.<\/p>\n<p>Carve the camera shape details as shown in the video then cover the whole thing in buttercream,  Refrigerate for at least an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Stack the lens layers of cake and cover them in buttercream too, place in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the body of the camera in black fondant.   Spray the fondant with cooking oil while you work to stop it drying out while you smooth it around the shape of the cake.  Trim the edges to size.  Square off any of the sharper corners by gently pinching the fondant along the edge.<\/p>\n<p>Make the lens and viewfinder out of isomalt, you can melt the isomalt in a saucepan or in the microwave.<\/p>\n<p>Once set push the viewfinder piece into some black fondant and build up black fondant around it into the shapes of the viewfinder.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap the lens in black fondant, add a ring of black and then the isomalt lens.  Continue to add the layers as shown in the video then wrap the lens hood around (note this piece should have 1\/4 tsp tylose mixed in with it to make it dry quickly).<\/p>\n<p>Make the corrugated bands to go around the lens by pushing an afro comb into the fondant, cut a strip and wrap it around.<\/p>\n<p>Put the lens in place &#8211; I used a strip of fondant to hold it in place slightly ff the board but found that this was not quite strong enough to last the flight &#8211; the lens stayed in place but was flat not he board.  So if you want it off the board you may need a strip of something harder like chocolate wrapped in fondant under the lens and a curved cake board sitting under the fondant and the bottom of the lens.<\/p>\n<p>Continue to add fondant details to the camera as shown in the video.<\/p>\n<p>When adding the viewfinder use a little water to make it stick and support it with something underneath while it dries.<\/p>\n<p>Paint on the rest of the details using white food colouring.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050.jpg\" alt=\"camera cake template\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3888\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86302\" data-wp-pid=\"86302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011050-1200x900-cropped.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5184px) 100vw, 5184px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\", \n  \"@type\": \"Recipe\", \n  \"name\": \"3D Camera Cake\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/P1011093-e1542353203683.jpg\",\n  \"description\": \"Panasonic invited me to an event in Sydney and requested that I bring along a camera cake that I was filming.
