Calling all chefs and epicureans-
My brother Rich and his fiancee Maren are leaving Pittsburgh in a couple
weeks for Chicago. The whiskey tasting group we belong to that meets at the
Cigar Den in Lawrenceville is doing a goodbye for them 1 week from now,
with a special cake we haven't decided on yet.
Im horrible at event planning, but good at making. all I can do to give my
brother and Marin a proper sendoff is get one hell of an impressive cake
made.
And all that occurs to me is we want a decoration for the cake. So I want
to try something crazy here.
I want to use the laser cutter to cut out 3d fully edible cake decorations
for the event!
We once laser etched Putin in a Ritz (cracker). has anyone gone beyond that
and cut anything edible out on the laser?
I have a professional artist cousin I might be able to get a drawing or
design from... but can anyone recommend a cutable edible material that
won't start sugar fires to our laser?
I know this is nuts, but we're all a bit or completely nuts, and there are
gourmands and chefs among you.
Anyone have any ideas?
