(The picture above is the first model lens cake I made to recalculate the whole actual size and dimensions)This is a really fun project. I've never done a lens cake before. The plus side is - it's a whole new fun. The down side - I've got an actual size to replicate. Lucky for me, this mini sized lens is small and compact but the price of the actual lens is so freaking expensive!
So, in order to visualize further how the whole product would look like in the brain and eyes. I decided to just play around with one. Imagine if this is the actual product - I think Asther would probably faint, vomit or throw me out of the window.
Asther's requirement for the lens cake is - (I copied and paste this from the email) It can be a whole cake that looks like the lens, or a cake with this lens as the main element. Most important details to be on the lens is the words:
1. 50mm
2. Canon
3. the red ring
'4. the details next to the red ring, especially the "1: 1.2" info.
After one trial, this is the whole outlook of the lens cake. I read it's actual size is 3.4 inch diameter and 2.6 inch in height. I think mine probably outsized a little ..

The Lens Cake 
After all is done! I thought it's time to cut the cake sample. Just for the fun of it.
Thank you has never been this fun! What's more thoughtful than giving someone a replica of what their heart desires?
Thanks to Asther for coming up with this theme. Initially, we wanted something simple to send a straight "Thank You" to her dear friend, Nicholas. But then she came up with crazy idea by giving him the ultra expensive lens that he wished for! And my jaws dropped when I found out the price for an actual lens.
Hope Nicholas enjoyed his lens cake made out of white butter cake with layers of thick ganache inside out. Cuppies flavor of gaga chocolate - chocolate has never been this evil!
